EnglishWhat is Win Tech Blog?
Updated
Win Tech Blog (blog.winhtaikaung.com) is a personal technical blog run by a Myanmar software engineer, built on a minimal Jekyll theme and focused on engineering learning notes. It is worth reading if you want short, experience-based write-ups on Linux internals, operating systems, SQL, JavaScript, and cloud/networking topics — and you are comfortable with a mix of English and Burmese content.
What the site is
The site describes itself as "a minimal, responsive and feature-rich Jekyll theme for technical writing." In practice it functions as one engineer's working notebook: posts are framed as learning notes and "Today I Learned" (TIL) entries rather than polished tutorials or product marketing.
There is no pricing or subscription information on the site, so treat it as an open reading destination rather than a paid product.
What topics it covers
The content clusters around systems and backend engineering, with occasional career and life writing:
| Area | Example posts |
|---|---|
| Linux & OS internals | Why unshare --pid throws "fatal library error, lookup self"; how Linux processes are created; Linux process and memory management notes |
| Databases | Debugging SQL fanouts in joins |
| JavaScript | How the task queue works inside the event loop; understanding npm package structure |
| Cloud & networking | Basic cloud networking for software engineers (AWS) |
| Windows & troubleshooting | Reclaiming 160 GB from WSL2's hidden disk file |
| Career & life | An account of an immigration college experience from Singapore to Canada |
The Linux and OS posts are the most technically specific, often built around a single confusing error or behavior and the explanation behind it.
Language
Most posts are in English. Some are written in Burmese — for example, the cloud networking piece for software engineers and the JavaScript event loop article. If you only read English, you can still follow the majority of the technical notes, but expect a portion of the archive to be inaccessible without Burmese.
Who it is for
This blog suits:
- Software engineers who want quick, concrete explanations of Linux and OS behavior
- Developers debugging SQL, JavaScript runtime, or WSL2 issues
- Readers interested in a Myanmar engineer's perspective on working in tech and moving abroad
It is less suited to people looking for structured courses, comprehensive references, or vendor documentation.
How to use it
- Open blog.winhtaikaung.com and scan the "Recently Updated" section for the newest notes.
- Use the "Trending Tags" list to jump to a topic area such as Linux, SQL, or JavaScript.
- Read individual posts as standalone notes — each one targets a specific problem or observation rather than building on a series.
If a post matches a problem you are currently facing, it is most useful read alongside the official documentation for the tool involved, since the posts are personal notes rather than authoritative references.
