Do you create all new accounts (Github, Stripe, etc.) for each project?

A lot of people here tend to have more than one project they're working on ranging from sideproject to full on startup. I'm wondering, if and when you decide to provision all new accounts for a project. For example, do you create a new email address at me@newproject.com, sign up for a new Github account with your new email, link that Github account to Vercel, sign up for AWS and Stripe, put in all new payment info, etc. Or do you just have a unified account (probably your personal account) and have all of your various projects within it?

    Personal account, if one of the projects would get traction then moving it isn't a big problem usually. At that point they are good problems to have. Don't overthink it.

    Everything all new every time so that it's easy to keep the projects separate from one another.

    Personal Account, and if the business is using the same platform then separate accounts. At this point I've had about 100+ projects and only one has really been somewhat successful for my personal project. I would probably go mad if I made new github accounts for each one.

    I create accounts once the projects gain some traction, at the beginning I just use my personal accounts

    I tend to create a new email and connections when the project lifts of the ground just a bit. Until I feel (or understand) it will be used I stick to my personal mail.
