I noticed I used a little bit of tech jargon the video so here are some of the things I said along with their definitions.
UI / UID
User Interface / User Interface Designer: the user interface is the visual aspect of a digital product (website, app, etc.) The User Interface Designer designs those visual features. More on this in this video.

UX / UXD
User Experience / User Experience Designer: the user experience is the overall experience of a person using a product (website, app, etc.). The most important aspect of the UX is how easy a product is to use. The User Experience Designer designs those visual features. More on this in this video.

I was looking for this since I really want to do something with my life and I really don't know what, I started teaching myself so that I can maybe even go back to school

[@jelanah_]

Good luck 💕💕

I use Udemy. I will soon start studying full-stack web development on Udemy. I'm studying front-end development now. I'm trying to get back into College at SNHU for Computer Science. I dropped out when I got arrested for terrorist threats. I just got out Friday 10 Feb 2023. A whole ten months of not making money in jail. Man was that hell for me.

There are definitely internships. I’m just not sure if they are in the Atlanta office.

[@jemelgash9677]

[@missambergold6542]

Do you have any boot camp recommendations for those who want to become a software engineer?

Do you code the full eight hours or just half the day ? I want to know is working two software jobs are possible

[@jelanah_]

About half usually

[@Abeauty517]

I’m currently going to DeVry University for engineering technology, I wanted to do biomedical engineering but now i kind of want to do software any tips or advice do you have?

[@JT-tx2ns]

I would make sure the program is legit. DeVry was one of those scam schools growing up

[@brighteyesldy]

Enjoyed the video! I am in the ATL too! Also, no shade… you are beautiful don’t touch your hair too much

[@TerriaJanee]

Do you personally listen to music while coding?

[@jelanah_]

Nope. I can’t multitask. Lmao But I can listen to music with no words, like jazz instrumentals.

[@bekttfuture]

You are a beast for using those nails to work. I have to cut mine.

[@akajoshuaolanipekun]

I’ll chat you up when I’m able to set up my instagram.

[@EnGieBenGie90]

Cool, but how do you type on a keyboard with those nails seems like hard work lol

[@jelanah_]

unless you want long nails, don’t worry about it.
