    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”.
