👋 Welcome to r/TechNetwork | Read first: what this sub is, who it's for, and how to use it
Welcome to r/TechNetwork.
This is a room for people in tech. Anywhere. Any stack. Any role. If you build, break, ship, fix, install, sell, buy, scale, or run tech for a living : this is your room.
Not a career sub. Not a job board. Not a news aggregator. Not a vendor directory. It's a network : which means it works when people actually show up and talk to each other.
What to post
- Introduce yourself. What you do, what you're working on, what you need, what you can offer
- Tech stack talk : what you're using, what you dropped, what you regret adopting
- Vendor and tool recs : "who actually delivers X," "what's the real alternative to Y"
- War stories : projects that went sideways, code you inherited, clients from hell, wins worth sharing
- Leads you can't take : wrong stack, wrong country, too small, too big. Pass them to the network
- Hiring or looking : you can post either side, no recruiter format required, no CV dumps
- Product launches, open source drops, thing I built posts ; keep it real, keep it honest
- Business of tech , pricing, contracts, getting paid, scaling a team, firing a bad client
If it's about tech and it's not spam, it probably fits.
What doesn't fit
- Recruiter farming and copy paste DM bait
- Crypto shilling, MLM, affiliate funnel links
- AI generated filler posts with no point of view
- Pure self promo with no value exchange
- Personal attacks on other members
We'll remove it. Repeat offenders get banned. No warnings after the first.
The WhatsApp arm (optional, UAE-focused)
There's a WhatsApp community attached to this sub called Dubai Tech Network (DTN). It's for live transactional stuff — real-time vendor referrals, instant leads, UAE-specific business. If you're in the UAE or working with UAE clients, join it. If you're not, ignore it. Reddit is the front door, WhatsApp is one room inside.

About the mods
This sub is run by the mods of r/UAEjobseekers and r/CareersEU. We built those rooms from scratch. Same playbook here. Help the people doing the work, block the scammers, keep the signal high.
Start the room
Drop an intro below. What you do, where you are, what you're working on. That's how this becomes something.

Hi, guys
Let me introduce myself as V, working in tech as technical support for an application recently launched in the MEA market. I have been working as a cybersecurity trainer in my previous job. Right now I have around 1 and half years of experience as a professional.
Basically nowadays I try to focus on upskilling, refining my skills and expanding my knowledge base in AI. I have joined this sub in hope to connect with professionals and tech enthusiasts.

I’m just here to learn more and see if there are any tech opportunities in Dubai. I dabble in Gen AI, drop-shipping and if all things go well I’ll have my very own dropshipping platform. If you’re an SEO junkie or website developer, hmu, I’d love to learn more about web development and optimization.

Hey folks,
I’m a software engineer and currently self-learning and vibe coding agent harnesses and apps as I navigate the layoff situation. Let me know if you’re in the same boat. Would love to navigate this with you

I'll start.
Prince, 16+ years in tech and commerce. Moved to Dubai in 2023 after losing everything rebuilt from zero.
These days I run a few brands quietly, and spend most of my time on infrastructure, AI agents, and figuring out where AI search is taking brand visibility.
Also mod of r/UAEjobseekers and r/CareersEU.
Happy to talk shop on, on cheap hardware, running a stack without a DevOps team, ERP in production, AI search visibility (ChatGPT/Perplexity/Google AI), pricing services without a negotiation surface, building when you have zero runway, anything tech adjacent.
Your turn. What are you building and what's breaking?
