Build Date: November 30

The Day of Measured Testing
Modules built on November 30 have a built-in capacity for overcoming challenges of hostile environments. They are capable of bringing surprises to security attacks, for example. One can learn a lot about them by studying their traces or doing reverse engineering. November 30 components do their work to the utmost degree of quality with a little waste of CPU and memory. Message boxes they pop up have a subtle sense of thought-provoking humour but it can also be a full blown thigh-slapping. November 30 systems are very defensive when attacked. They are stubbornly resistant to reverse engineering but at the same time very open to honest debugging.

Weaknesses: Over-reactive to code and data injection, funny behaviour.
Strengths: Thorough developed, dynamic responsiveness.
Advice: Improvise during troubleshooting and debugging. Admire control vs. spontaneity balance. Laugh at your failures.
