"My husband started to dabble with vibe coding. He replicated my not-for-profit yoga organization website and sent me the link. He was like, "See what you can do now in a couple of hours?" I was quite intrigued. He was going to sign up for a class called Code with AI in June. He asked me, "Why don't you come with me?" I suppose what he was trying to do was nudge me into exploring something else."
"It's a capsule of time before going back to work, and in a career, you rarely get that. Maternity leave became my time to learn and evolve As a new mom, I started to think about my baby's weaning - he's starting to eat solid food. I thought, How are we going to plan all the meals when I go back to work? Maybe I'll try to build something to tackle that: a family meal planner."
An HR professional with no prior coding background taught herself to build an AI-assisted web app while on six months of maternity leave. A spouse introduced her to 'vibe coding' and encouraged enrollment in a 'Code with AI' weekend class, prompting purchase of a personal laptop. She used short pockets of time—baby naps and weekends with family help—to learn and continue developing a family meal-planning app to manage weaning and meal scheduling upon returning to work. The hands-on project combined practical problem-solving with AI tools, reinforced learning momentum, and supported both personal growth as a mother and professional skill development.
