Google Executive Teaches Kids Vibe Coding
Asif Saleem, a Google financial-services go-to-market lead for Japan and Asia Pacific, taught his 13-year-old and 18-year-old children vibe coding after attending Cursor 'Code with AI' weekend sessions; they later joined Cursor's 24-hour weekend hackathon in Singapore. He says the experience boosted their creativity and curiosity, while he stresses hands-on learning and family guardrails like screen-time rewards and restrictions on AI use for schoolwork.
