This goes along with a study I read a while back that you can do practically any job with an IQ of 120. Higher than average, but not anywhere close to genius level. With an average IQ of 100 you can still preform well in something like 80% of jobs.

Software engineers have an average IQ of 110ish so most HN readers are capable of doing almost any job. It's really about effort and things that are harder to measure like creativity
