If I'm doing open source coding, whether professional or not, I'd always want that associated with my personal GH account.
- bluefirebrand 2y agoIf I'm being paid by an employer to do it, it doesn't go on my personal anything, period I don't own that code so I don't associate it with personal accounts But I've never done open source work for an employer either
- maxcoder4 2y agoI also only use a separate account for open source work for my employer. There are multiple benefits: * My employer has no say in my private account. They can't force my to change my private bio or profile name, for example * It's clear which code I authored as a part of my employment and which I did on my own after hours (extremely important for me). * I work in IT security do I should give an example :). Some projects my company hosts on GH are not public (yes), or some projects I have access to because of my work. I shouldn't touch them after I leave my current company, or access them from private devices.
