I do like the idea of having an online portfolio where a candidate can showcase their skills, but I am not sure that a youtube channel is the ideal platform for it. I can see good gains to be had from doing so, but there are also non-trivial drawbacks. I'll explain what I mean. First, doing personal game development projects earns top marks. There's no better way to stand out as a candidate than to have experience doing that work already and game development is no exception.

Hello, I’ve attached BlockInputEvents to a node. During runtime, when resizing this node, the BlockInputEvents functionality stops working. To address this issue, I currently toggle the BlockInputEvents component off and then on again after resizing the node: commUI.panel.getComponent(BlockInputEvents).enabled = true; commUI.panel.getComponent(BlockInputEvents).enabled = false; Is there a more efficient way to handle this?
