1) Creative account - Allows me to express ideas that are wild, uncharaceristic of myself and learn from people's responses and many times downvotes. I try to be nice. Many times I am wrong.
2) Real name account where I share things that align with my career goals, public image and 'on the record' perception.
I prefer using my creative account (this) more often than not. I hope this isn't against HN rules.
Alters can be easily connected, but having separate accounts like parent described can be useful nonetheless. For example, one well-known Rust developer has a day Twitter and a night Twitter which is good, because many are probably interested in one, but not the other. Generally, cramming too different kind of content into one account can be equally detrimental for the writer and the readers.
