November was truly special, because I finally got to meet my Pirate crew in real life. Stepping out of the screen and into reality, standing face to face with everyone, felt almost unreal.

Even though it was our first time meeting, there was no sense of awkwardness at all. Everyone looked exactly like their avatars 😂 Once again, I have to say our design team did an incredible job.

Every day was thoughtfully planned and full of surprises, and I got to experience so many “firsts” along the way. The gifts and souvenirs weren’t just keepsakes to me, they were priceless memories. When we finally met in person, we realized we had endless things in common. It became a truly meaningful and unforgettable experience.

On my way home, I transited through Taiwan and decided to stay a few extra days walking around, and giving this journey the perfect ending.

Although I did a lot of traveling this month, I still pushed myself to keep working on things. Since I added the coverage report last month, I’ve been focusing mainly on improving code coverage for block sync process. At the same time, I made some improvements to the block sync logic by using threading instead of sequential execution.

Summary of Key Work

• Improving code coverage for sync block process
• Block sync with threading

Work

Improving code coverage for sync block process

• Added more unit tests for the block sync process.
• Improved tests by using real SQL instead of mocked db responses.

• The block sync process requests block information, processes it, and inserts it into the database.
