+Pointless Corp. is the innovation lab at Viget, where we step away from client
+work to make fun and useful things for everyone
+
+“Neither pointless, nor a corporation” is how we describe Pointless Corp. here
+at Viget. We founded Viget – an actual company – in 1999 during the original
+dot com bubble to build web products for clients. Serving clients has always
+been our purpose or … point, if you will. Over the decades, we’ve done just
+that, completing thousands of projects for hundreds of clients. Never
+forgetting that we exist to serve our clients has been key in our longevity.
+
+About a decade in, we felt the urge to build and launch our own projects.
+Pointless Corp became the internal brand we adopted to remind ourselves that
+these projects can be fun and useful but don’t replace the primary point of
+Viget. A line from Harry Nilsson’s The Point! referencing the Pointless Man
+serves as inspiration: “a point in every direction is the same as no point at
+all.” We wanted the freedom to experiment in every direction.
+
+So we did. Ideas and teams formed fairly randomly, and Pointless Projects began
+to fill the gaps between our client work. Projects like HeyCraig (2009), which
+sent you an email alert based on your Craigslist search (before Craigslist shut
+us down and added the feature). Or Tincan’d (2011), a simple video call
+platform before Zoom or Google Meet. Or BabyBookie, the baby due date office
+pool app over 500,000 people have used since launch in 2012.
+
+These projects allow our teams to work without the input (including, ahem,
+revenue) of clients, so we’re more free to experiment, wear different hats, and
+learn … a lot. We apply what we learn back into our client work. Along the way,
+we get to know each other better, scratch our entrepreneurial itches, and
+hopefully put some fun and/or useful things out in the world for others to
+enjoy.
+
+For many years, we organized an annual optional Pointless Weekend. We’d kick
+off hackathon-style on a Thursday evening and wrap on a Saturday evening with a
+functional product out in the wild, as I described back in 2012. It’s always
+been an intense, enjoyable, but rather exhausting 48 hours. Photos from 2011,
+2014, and 2016 bring back some great memories.
+

+Pointless Weekend 2014 spanned three Viget offices
+
+A couple of years ago, we shifted the schedule to start on Wednesday and wrap
+on Friday. This made participation easier, allowing parents and others with
+weekend commitments to join. It also allowed projects to wrap up just in time
+for our Friday staff meeting. We awkwardly called it “Pointless Week” even
+though it was still only two days.
+
+New for 2023: Pointless Palooza
+
+Two things I like: alliteration and lollapalooza (specifically circa 1992, but
+that’s a story for another day). So Pointless Palooza was an obvious choice for
+what to call our little two day adventure. In addition to a new name, we’re
+trying a few other changes this year:
+
+Pointless Executives. Nothing injects new energy like new leadership. We handed
+over the Pointless reins to two trusty execs: Andrew (day job: developer) is
+our Pointless CEO and Aimee (day job: project manager) is our Pointless COO.
+They’ve done a phenomenal job setting a vision, planning, and leading the
+activities. Their enthusiasm helped inspire more than half the company to
+participate with a record number of projects and great results.
+
+Pitching & Team Formation. Previously, project ideas were “pitched” with a
+single slide and a tight 1-2 minute segment at a staff meeting. These were fun
+and lighthearted, but didn’t always capture the full vision, and teams often
+formed and morphed during the kickoff night. This year, project ideas were
+shared more gradually via collaboration in Slack and Notion. Project teams
+formed with more structure in advance, and team members had some time before
+the kickoff to marinate on the idea and get excited to build.
+
+Even More Remote Friendly. There’s something magical about kickoff-pizza,
+launch day donuts, and in-person collaboration. But there’s something even more
+magical about collaborating with dozens of teammates around the country
+(especially when it’s supplemented by sweet swag boxes and Divvy credits for
+remote treats). Hybrid teams work. We still had fun in-office connections, but
+most of our Pointless Projects this year are being worked on with distributed
+teams, much like our client work.

+
+Some things haven’t changed from prior years. Team members are still swapping
+roles – PMs writing code, designers running projects, the list goes on – which
+means steep and rapid learning curves. We’re still trying out new technologies
+and approaches to our work, which means unexpected blockers and great insights
+to share. New connections are being formed, especially since more than half of
+this year’s participants are in their first year at Viget and experiencing
+their first Pointless event. Forming authentic co-worker connections isn’t
+easy, and our culture is stronger today than it was at the start of the week.
+
+So what projects will launch? I won’t steal their thunder, but we just wrapped
+the presentation portion of six Pointless Project teams at our weekly staff
+meeting and it was the most we’ve laughed, cheered, and been inspired in a long
+time. I expect articles will be written and shared in the days and weeks ahead
+outlining the thrills (and mishaps) of the teams this year.
+
+Photos of Pointless Palooza 2023
+Pointless Palooza 2023 was a blast!
+
+Pointless Corp. is more than an annual palooza. We work on projects throughout
+the year in the gaps between client work, weaving the teamwork, learning, and
+teaching values of Viget into all that we do.
+
+If this is the kind of work and culture you might enjoy, learn more about our
+culture and job openings – perhaps you’ll be able to join next year’s Pointless
+Palooza. After all, inspiring people to join us is unapologetically part of the
+point.
