I fear that opening sourcing my personal projects would work against me. The code that i develop in my spare time is done for my own benefit, and just for fun - no documentations, no unit tests, and there are hacks there which i'm proud of.

I fear a future employer would look at that code and think that is how I write code in professional environment.

You could create a repository under a nickname not directly tied to your "real" name. Having multiple virtual identifies is one of the best features of the 'net.
