UNITY PERFORMANCE TESTS. Get component() tests

A good idea, but tests are performed inside the Unity editor, which has almost zero sense. Have this idea as a future proper post on this topic

Object pooling in Unity 2021

Finally there is a built-in implementation of the object pool pattern. Would be good to see some performance tests with the most popular custom solutions to know whether you need to replace it with built-in or not

The "KISS" Dependency Injection in Unity

Just an ad of the course. But raises a good concern whether you can understand and debug the third party code in your production app. Debugging can be crucial. I remember working on a game where the core feature was based on an obfuscated dll - literally impossible to debug or read. Keep this in mind when adding third party to your project
