>>12189226Aye, not completely sure what to explain tho, so I will explain two things. So the general principle is "results > potential". What one did, does and will do matters much more than what one *could* do. This is true in general, but also in a working place.
Pull request is programmer lingo. It is a way to make a change in a local version of a programm and then bring that change into some central version. Someone with some good, accepted pull requests on github showed that he/she is able to identify and solve technical problems with writing code, then use version controll (i.e. git) to transport his changes to the main version and not totally fuck up the social conventions that come with getting your change accepted.
A high IQ is relevant because it is one factor that *could* (potential) lead to a history of good pull requests (realized potential, in this case a person used his/her brain to produce some code). Companies only care about this kind of work experience and not about the IQ, rightly so.
My IQ is slightly over 130, but there many people with a lower IQ than me that are much better and more knowledgable than me.
