Recently, I see too many YouTube videos, tutorials, and questions in Unity groups where people are overusing GetComponent methods in their code. Time to talk about why you shouldn’t use it! Or at least use it sparingly.
Why am I bothering about that? Because I’m doing code reviews, and I just had enough of it. ?
YouTubers, tutors, Unity, and other content creators – YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING PEOPLE DO BAD THINGS!
Now let’s try to fix it. ?

In Unity, if you want to load another scene asynchronously, you can do it without problem but using LoadSceneAsync from SceneManager. The only problem here is that this method won’t give you smooth progress values.

I was hastiest to set it up for a long time, but was I saving time not having it?

Creating a game requires a lot of assets – 3d models, sounds, texture, etc., which Git wasn’t meant to handle. But there is a solution to this problem – Git LFS!
Git Large File Storage was created to handle large files, as the name implies. This extension is great for storing all sorts of assets like 3d models, textures, sounds, etc.
Thanks to LFS, changing those files won’t negatively impact your repository size!
