Runtime Monitoring is an easy way for you to monitor the value or state of custom C# members during runtime. Just add the 'Monitor' attribute to a field, property, event, method or even class and get its value or state displayed automatically in a customizable and extendable debug UI

VContainer: Pre IL Code Generation

Just in case you didn't know that VContainer has a code generation that helps to avoid reflection during runtime and makes dependencies resolution faster. Another strong point to try it in your next project or even compare the performance to your current DI container and replace it if needed.

Deep dive into Android ANR

Not a Unity post, but gives some insights on ANRs and ways to detect it using a native plugin (most likely someone already implemented it with a wrapper for Unity and shared it as an open source)

Benchmark Your .NET Code With Benchmark.NET

It is basically a standard nowadays how to measure performance. We have a Performance Testing package made by Unity Technologies, but it is not as advanced as Benchmark.NET (and not that useful in many cases, especially given that my tests have shown that it produces a performance test report from a device in Unity 2019 only and doesn't let check the device performance in newer Unity versions due to no report being created). So prefer Benchmark.NET for code that can be benchmarked in isolation.
