#4The kid doesn't seem to be doing any actual teaching here. Cool that a two-year-old can say "exponential", though, I guess.

…Oh. Okay, fine, weird rhetorical device but you do you.

#5While similarly playing brio with a two year old, I thought about a different dimension not mentioned here - super loose tolerances make the search space really weird.
In true 2-year-old fashion, my kid would bend the rules as much as possible by literally forcing pieces to the edge of their tolerance to make things fit that shouldn't fit. 8 piece circle yea, cool, but with a sufficiently old brio set handed down for 40 years or whatever, you can totally make a 7 piece "circle" thing.
So I decided some day I'll craft an interview question out of that, to see if people can figure out a good way to map a set of pieces laid out with given tolerance ranges for piece, see if it can connect, etc. Haven't thought about it enough to really polish it for an interview, but some day.

#6What year was your son born? Nobody has said “Silly Billy” in 30 years, unless under the auspices of a duly appointed official.

Given my feelings about the quality of the... discourse... on LinkedIn, I can't tell if this is a genuine compliment or a fiercely backhanded one.

I associate that phrase with Dr. Henry Killinger

#10This attempt at humble bragging about how smart your two year old is was not necessary for this article. There does not need to be a constant game of trying to 1 up other parents by bragging about how much farther ahead your kid is compared to others.
