Anons who contribute to open source projects or have public repositories somewhere, do you use your real identity or pseudonyms?Thinking if it's a good idea to use my real identity when pushing to github repos that are public. What does /g/ think?
You probably shouldn't use your real identity if you're implementing age verification or something like that.

>>108469352github is going to require 2fa (and thus any form of real ID) for contributing a few weeks time.

I use a pseudonym, but try to stay professional on that identity and firewall it from my hate-speech/ edgy pseudonym. This way I can still put it on my resume
>>108469352Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but I do shit because I want the software to be better, and my real name does absolutely nothing to further that causebut I get the youth, they're all minmaxxing life and any effort they expend on just about anything is an investment they eventually want returns on, so of course they drop where to mail the cheque, but that ain't me
>>108469352I contribute to and also independently author open source projects under my real name. I run massive firewalls between that and my online discussions where I use multiple pseudonyms, not because I am particularly controversial but because there are way too many drama queens on the net. We live in times where facts can kill your career and compulive liars live a grand life among people like Eps. fully funded by taxpayers with no consequences.
>>108469352real name, but posting a selfie anywhere on the internet is for retards
>>108469352my github helped me get two jobs in a row, so I have it attached to some personal stake. But now that I'm pretty far into my professional software engineering life, I feel like my resume has enough to where I don't even need to have my github in it.It helps early in your career if you don't have much else going on in your resume but after a few years at a few companies you probably don't need to attach any personal stake to your GitHub anymore.
