// TODO clean this up
Developers don't have unions so we often just get left out of the credits anyways.
Software very rarely has an individual's vision behind it in the same way movies do. At least publicly. There are a small handful of game developers you could say that about, but outside of games the only time a single creator's vision is relevant in that way is when they also do have creative control over it, and so the need for such a pseudonym doesn't exist.
Never heard of this having a unique version for programming or development. These days, I suppose most "user names" are kind of like this for programmers and the necessity to not use the "same identity" in order to use most websites with a login service basically means you're SOL with coming up with a name that multiple people can adopt.
The closest we have is the hacker-worlds "Anonymous" or similar hacking groups where it's always unclear if it's one person or multiple in actuality.

I don't know, but I like the question. 😆
The closest thing I can think of is @author unascribed sometimes seen in Javadoc comments, but I don't think that's used in quite the same way as what you're asking.
