Where's "I get paid for my code and when I want to do something open source I make a new account and forget about it afterwards?"

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

what's the rationale of creating a new account? Just for using a pseudonym, or something else?

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

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".
