You can, however reduce coding times significantly.
There is a stock benefit block that halves the coding time, only costs about 8m at the moment.
Computer science edu reduces coding times even further.

Working in a game store 1* or above also halves coding times by 50%. *glances to my game store that is currently hiring*

The 'viruses' portion of this game is so weird.

- You can only program one virus at a time.
- You have to program each virus from scratch - you can't just 'copy' it *scratches head*
- Using a virus for a crime does not consume it... so everyone really needs only a single copy of a virus, ever. And the only one people actually need is the stealth virus.
- There's a merit for coding 100 viruses, which means people will code 100 simple viruses (as they are the fastest).
- Coding viruses requires a computer (item)
- And... that's it. Why do they exist? Feels so much like they don't fit, and honestly the cybercrime scene feels like there's so much more room to develop in this game.

Someone should suggest multiple viruses and then watch as PC prices go up the roof, even before it's released
