Now

This is a Now page, a movement by Derek Sivers. It’s become widely adopted by many people, including Jenxi, my partner at RubyCoded. I last updated this page on the 18th of January, 2026.

Growing RubyCoded

Jenxi and I started RubyCoded to collaborate remotely a good 12 years ago. We’ve evolved a lot since then, but as technology changes, we’re now making improvements to the technology who have to deploy, along with an increased focus on growing together with the businesses that we support.

With Jenxi living in Shenzhen, and myself in Malaysia, in 2026 we’re bridging the operations between RubyCoded Malaysia and RubyCoded Shenzhen to better serve clients.

Building Communities

I’m currently building communities at SubangFood, HeySubang, and HeyShenzhen

I’d love you to explore these communities.

Going back to web fundamentals

With the WordPress community being divided by a Mad King, we’ve been busy developing and refining our own solutions using Astro and love the increased benefits that it gives to the sites we develop that we’ve been moving many of our existing client sites off WordPress to Astro. Productising and refining it to our own majestic monolith.

PS: On the topic of majestic monoliths, I’ve always had a thing for Crenshinibon.

Digital Gardening

I started a digital garden, with just a seedling.
