MODERATORS
what's the rationale of creating a new account? Just for using a pseudonym, or something else?
I think the use case is simply separating your professional code from your personal code. I don't need interviewers seeing my throwaway projects.
Yup. Officially, last I checked, GitHub encouraged people to use a single account for everything. But I wish they'd at least let people create multiple "personas" on the same account, along the lines of "Notorious Open Source Hacker Alias" vs "Random Code Monkey On Corporate Gig".
For me, it's contributing to open source projects that are for NSFW things, stashdb specifically.
