Will Johnson's narrative in the "Voices of Gatsby" series illustrates his transformative journey from working grueling factory jobs to entering the tech industry without a formal degree. Facing harsh working conditions and financial challenges, Johnson embarked on a self-directed learning path in web development, inspired by Colt Steele's course. Despite lacking a traditional tech background, he actively built both local and online communities, sharing his progress and supporting others, primarily through platforms like Twitter. His relentless networking efforts and dedication eventually led him to connect with industry figures such as Joel Hooks, co-founder of egghead.io, where he secured a role that allowed him to work remotely and enjoy more family time. Johnson's story highlights the power of community engagement and social media in breaking into tech, ultimately culminating in the release of his ebook, "Break Into Tech with Twitter," encouraging others with non-traditional backgrounds to pursue similar paths.
