Hey there! I'm a Product Designer at Netflix where I've most recently been working on design systems. I ❤️ design and code. I used to live in The Bay (SF) and now I live in The Land (CLE) with my wife and two children.

#interiordesign and #homeowner folks: any recommendations for well manufactured, durable kitchen faucets? I’m primarily looking for an arc-style faucet in black.

derek,

@Luke This looks very similar to our current faucet, which I really like, but things keep breaking on it, which is why I’m looking for a durable replacement.

"Americans bought 21 percent more heat pumps in 2023 than the next-most popular heating appliance, fossil gas furnaces." Quietly, the way we heat our homes is changing - and it has the potential to make a big impact. #Climate https://grist.org/energy/heat-pumps-outsold-gas-furnaces-again-last-year-and-the-gap-is-growing/?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

derek,

@jackamick @ben Good to hear! When our gas furnace dies, that’s what we’ll be getting.

I’ve started recording cute things my 2-year-old says, and it melts my heart every time (imagine in a decade) 🥲🥺

video/mp4

derek,

@rafa This is such a wonderful idea — I try to capture video, but this might be less intrusive.

My favourite HTML tag these days is <template>.

It's really helpful when you want to stick with vanilla JS (funnelled through Babel and Webpack or not) for doing things like dynamically adding form components.

Legacy libraries such as cocoon achieve the same thing using data attributes, which is clunky at best.

I may just end up making my own form builder helper out of this, but I need a good name for it.

#webdev #html #javascript

derek,

@alda @mikemai2awesome Yes! I wrote about using <template> here: https://derekpcollins.com/blog/using-the-html-template-element

Thinking back on our recent trip to Ireland and I was pleasantly surprised by the ubiquity of tap-to-pay. I didn't have to pull out a physical card once during our trip. This is the future I want!

Do you like to travel internationally? Do you ever need to know what kind of plug or adapter you might need for a given country? Well I made something for you! https://pluglife.io

#travel

derek,

@alabut Haha! I do plan on adding more details for each plug type over time for things like this! I have some of the data, I just haven’t exposed it yet.

derek,

@alabut Happy to hear that!

When your laptop says it has 10% battery remaining, do you:

a) Plug it in immediately
or
b) Think "I'd better plug it in soon" then wonder why it switches off an hour later, like I do basically every time.

derek,

@twostraws b, yes

Sure I got a new phone, but I’ll remember this day as Hypercritical shirt day 💛😍 @siracusa

derek,

@rafa @siracusa I dig that color! 🔥

Alright, got a new order in, now for in-store pickup and the 22nd was still available 👌

derek,

@rafa I had to opt for in-store pickup in order to get it on the 22nd as well — this will be the first time in a long time that I’ve had to physically go to the store to pick up the phone 😂

@rafa@mastodon.design avatar

I’m still on the fence, are you getting a new phone this year?

derek,

@rafa I’ve been part of the Apple Upgrade Program for years, so I always upgrade, but I think this years iPhone Pr looks great (raw titanium for me), the cameras are even better (as per usual), and the reduction in weight will be welcome (I never loved the heft of the most recent versions of the iPhone Pro). I'm also excited for the action button.

We said goodbye to my Dad yesterday, and I wrote down some memories of what he taught me. It’s just a drop in the bucket. I miss you, Dad.

Swan Song (2021) really was showing us all what “Vision Pro 7” is going to look like, even down to how you charge it, and no one noticed.

Reel of some clips from the Sci-Fi movie Swan Song (2021) where the main character is using a XR device, and the UI looks a lot like visionOS.

derek,

@rafa I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before! I’m going to check it out this weekend!

📝🫗 I wrote about #mollyholzschlag and a very, very few of the stories from our shared history. And I included some photos of her from years past. https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2023/09/06/memories-of-molly/

derek,

@Meyerweb Lovely remembrance. There are a lot of Web og’s in those photos and stories ❤️

Molly gave me much needed speaking and writing encouragement during the early web days, and for that I’ll be forever grateful. I’m also grateful for all she did to push the web forward for everyone. Rest easy, Molly.

A groundbreaker, a force of nature, a pioneer, a friend. We could make each other laugh and cry and laugh until we cried. Once we randomly met Little Richard in a hotel lobby. She shaped more of today’s web than you can imagine, unless you were there. There were none like her, and never will be again. Godspeed, Mols.

Watching amazing designers work in Figma on a Twitch stream to unwind, or as I like to call it FigmASMR.

derek,

@mergesort Nice! Who should I be watching?

"Mitch McConnell may be" headlines beg me to complete it with unfriendly words. I empathize with anybody in poor health on a personal level, but on a civic level, this man has been utterly destructive to our country, and his retirement would be a welcomed gift.

derek,

@danielpunkass You misspelled “death”.

My family and I will be visiting Ireland for the first time in November for ~2 weeks with our toddler (2) and infant (6 months). We’re currently planning on staying in Dublin for a week and then traveling by train to Cork and staying there for a week as well.

If you’ve been to or live in Ireland, would you offer some advice on the following? (See 🧵)

derek,

@Luke @bw Great info — thank you!

A special request from one of my daughters while we’re still in Japan: she wants to stay in a capsule hotel. The things I do for my kids…

derek,

@twostraws I’d love to hear what your experience was like!

Anyone here made the leap from 1Password to Apple Keychain?

I'm wondering what the downsides are. I'm 100% Apple here, so not having a cross platform password manager wouldn't be a problem for me.

derek,

@andycarolan @jswright61 Ah, good! I intended to share a link and then got distracted and forgot, so I’m glad you found it!
