Ask HN: How to meet and work with likeminded people on the Internet?

4 points by sarmadgulzar 6 days ago | 1 comment

I’m from Pakistan and I currently work as a Backend Engineer remotely. But given my background in Electrical Engineering, I keep tinkering with electronics and robotics stuff whenever I have time to spare. Currently I’m working with Embedded Rust using Embassy.

In my country, there’s almost no one who is working on these deep-tech technologies unfortunately and I am having trouble relocating due to really bad reputation of my passport which consistently ranks at the bottom of the list in terms of travel freedom.

I want to know where and how I can meet people online who are doing electronics + embedded + robotics stuff with whom I can collaborate and learn from.

Plenty of things you can do. Here's a few off the cuff:

- Follow bloggers in your field, contact them.

- Post your thoughts on blogs/forums. Say you're open to conversations.

- Start your own online space (forum, Slack, etc) for that field.
