## Zuckerberg's daughter is vibe coding
Priscilla Chan showed a reporter her daughter's account on Replit, an AI coding platform. The girl has built apps like a messaging service and FarmVille-style games.
## Mom sets strict internet limits
Chan lets her daughters explore coding but restricts what they can build. Apps that connect to the open internet are off limits.

> She's quite limited, because Mom doesn't let her build things that are open to the internet.
## Dating site idea got rejected
The Zuckerberg daughter wanted to build a dating site, but Chan shut that down. Each app the girl creates includes marketing and sales plans.

> She wanted to build a dating site. That was a no.
## Tech CEOs restrict their own kids
Sundar Pichai didn't give his middle schooler a phone. Mark Cuban set up special routers to monitor internet use, and Steve Jobs banned his kids from iPads.
## Meta is all in on AI
The company is pouring cash into AI computing power. It launched its own vibe coding product in August and a personal agent called Muse.
## Dad isn't pushing the coding
Zuckerberg didn't tell his daughter to learn vibe coding. Chan says it's been entirely the girl's own initiative.

> He didn't tell her to do any of this. It's been all on her own.
## Key takeaway

Even tech leaders who build AI products set strict boundaries on how their own children use these tools.
