Your cheat sheet for going from internship applicant to intern.

Want to know something? I’ve been quietly fearing that AI might come for my job.

How I used AI to help find ways to improve the health of a long-running project

Synthetic users can sharpen your user research, but they can't replace the humans you're designing for. We break down when to use them, and when they do more harm.

When building is cheap, knowing what to build becomes the constraint. AI has collapsed the cost of building software. It hasn't touched the cost of being wrong.

On a recent project, we needed to change from Lit.js to React to meet new infrastructure requirements without changing the launch deadline. We used AI to make the migration, which cut the time from months to a few weeks.

Hearth helps employees see when teammates plan to be in the office, making it easier to show up together. No mandates, no organizing required.

Git can sometimes be a bit of a pain, and often times it feels like we have to deal with its imperfections. With Jujutsu, that is no longer the case.

What do coding exercises look like in the age of AI? Fun, collaborative, and whimsical if a recent Viget Dev Meeting exercise is any indication.

Claude Code forgets everything when a session ends. I built recall to fix that — a self-improving memory layer that captures sessions, distills durable knowledge nightly, and feeds it back automatically.

We encourage our clients not to pass on research. Our own site deserved the same.

Building modern embeddable widgets with Web Components is a great way to ship standalone experiences, but we must be mindful of platform limitations when choosing our approach.

In an age obsessed with rapid evolution, some traditions are worth keeping.

Some techniques I have used to protect a RAG agent from malicious users and prompt attacks

A migration that's less scary than it sounds thanks to Pixel & Tonic's compatibility layer.

As a Scrum Master, I was drawn to Agile's promise to center the user. Then why did I have to leave Agile to actually do that? A story about disillusionment, a board game, and how I became a UX Researcher.

Prompts are ephemeral. Infrastructure compounds. A practical guide to setting up Claude Code so it works with your project, your conventions, and your process — not just the task in front of you.

48-hours, 8 projects, a dash of 8-bit influence, and agentic collaborators. Hackathons foster more teamwork, stronger output, and more learning than ever before.

We had 12 hours, a werewolf mascot, and a wild idea. AI helped us move fast. Humans kept us from getting lost.

As an experiment with AI during Pointless, we built a working language learning app in 24 hours. Here's how it went!

How a simple public-speaking ritual strengthens individual growth, shared learning, and company culture.

How we grew a pixel plant garden with an experimental agentic workflow.

Scooter Commuter is a game that makes the invisible commute visible again. It helps remote workers mentally “arrive” at work while creating space for boundaries and wellness.

Not only do AI agents like Claude Code and Codex excel at software development, they are also powerful knowledge work assistants.

The 6-month process of getting an intern project over the finish line into a soundboard that YOU can use in your meetings. Here's what it took to bring Parakeet from "almost ready" to actually ready.

Breaking from client work to experiment, learn, and sharpen our judgment through the Pointless Corp. framework has always been one of Viget’s most valuable investments.

Last Spring I decided to start a new blog and use the project as an opportunity to get more comfortable with the new generation of AI coding platforms.

New Year, new goals, same operational chaos? Your resolutions need more than motivation.

How using one (or two) flags with `git add` can level up the developer experience. Also, please don't use `git add .` haphazardly.

A Design Team's Tale

The story of a recent experience we had troubleshooting some serious performance problems in a large TypeScript monorepo.

Generated code can easily slip into a realm of unreadable, unmaintainable and frustrating code. Keep your repo legacy code free with these four simple tricks!

Books we read and enjoyed in 2025.

This year, ChatGPT shifted from an answer engine to a thinking partner. By asking better questions and iterating faster, I strengthened my judgment and learned that AI works best when it sharpens rather than replaces human thinking.

Testing with a screen reader is more than just finding errors; it's seeing the users as real people and having empathy in how they experience a site.

We recently upgraded a large application from Zod 3 to 4. The performance improvements are great and apart from one or two things, the migration was straightforward. Here are a few things we learned along the way.

Do we build the web, or does the web build us?

An intern's mission to get coworkers dancing.

The 2025 intern group project prompt was to build a better digital soundboard. In three weeks, we did just that, and it’s going to be available for everyone to use…eventually.

PowerPoint isn’t just a presentation tool; it’s a fun, creative way to tell stories, share what you enjoy, and connect. It’s still just as cool and useful as ever.
