Pretty sure you can have private repos with github?

I have "me at home" and "me at work" accounts, I don't generally create a new at-work account for each job. Maybe I should.

I've been trying to do more hobbyist work in public repos. It's not like there's a Greek chorus waiting to pounce on every mistake. Truth is, nobody cares.

It's freeing, in a way, because "I'll publish it when it's done" actually means "I'll never publish it at all".

Yeah, it's sometimes even hard to make code owners look at the complete feature PR to their codebase. There's 99.9% probability that 100% of 'geeking out' on github in public repositories will never be browsed by anybody.

I also find having some public activity on my gh to give me an ability to include it into the resume. It's a good conversation starter for many people from my experience.

Private repos. Even my personal stuff is private by default.
