The document discusses the experience of a parent and programmer who has worked as a web developer since 2008. As the only woman on her team, she found balancing programming and motherhood to be both rewarding and challenging. While colleagues, online communities, and conferences helped her stay up to date on her skills during her pregnancy and motherhood, continuing to learn new technologies as the only parent on her team presented difficulties.
