Ask HN: Best practices for OS X dev environments

I'm about to get a new Mac and will be starting fresh on a new drive. I would like to know if there are any best practices in regards to creating multiple user accounts, with different permissions for my scattered development work.

I spend time with node, python, and RoR. I like cloning projects from github and taking them for a spin. I test out bitcoin projects, and send GPG emails, and ssh into multiple servers. And I do all of this on my main user account that has sudo.

Is there some best practice that I should be aware of that would have me use multiple unix users on my new Mac?
