A unique ID for your Serialized classes in Unity.
Note, the GetHashCode() method will probably return a unique ID. There is a very remote chance you will get a clashing ID.
Update:After further experiments, I believe this does not work well enough to be generally useful. Unity, we need a new serialization system!

Supercharged Gizmos for your SceneView
This code shows how I use the [DrawGizmo] attribute to create special gizmos for my components, which only appear when you're actually near the component.

Visual Tools for Gameplay Design in Unity
I've put some of my gamedev tools for Unity on Github.
Uniextensions, some common sense extensions to Unity.
React, a visual logic and behaviour tree designer.
Univent, a UnityEvent-like set of gadgets for zero-code gameplay construction.

Allocations in the Unity Editor when using GetComponent.
If you call gameObject.GetComponent, and there is no Collider on that gameObject, null is returned, but you will also see a memory allocation in the Unity profiler.
Why?
The call is actually returning a "fake null" object, so that when you try and use it a custom error message is displayed. This custom error message causes the allocation.
This behaviour is disabled in a build, so you will only ever see it in the editor.
