Am I missing something here?

None of the examples they've cited at the bottom of that post are actual contributions to a popular open-source project, but seems more like stuff that's been built as a standalone project.

This was my contribution: https://github.com/mljs/matrix/pull/50

I previously contributed to the mljs libraries and used the opportunity to add a new feature and demonstrate that I knew how to unit test etc.

Did you get the job?

Yes, I currently work here.

Should have made a disclaimer!
