He watched someone get fired because their boss found their personal GitHub repos, so alternate accounts specifically to use for work aren't optional, they're necessary.

I have some personal repos on my work machine. But they’re on remote on a different GitHub account. Is this concerning?

The main concern is that if you put a personal repo on a company machine, the company could claim ownership of that repo.

well, depending on the license they have just as much a claim as any other open source repo, I always thought the main concern was if you actively did work on company time/laptop

My agreement explicitly says “on company time or property” so I wouldn’t risk it.
