No, we won't whitelist your entire program folder in Endpoint Protection.

As a dev, I had to fix an O( n! ) algorithm once because the outsourced developer that wrote it had no clue about anything. This algorithm was making database queries.

Oh yeah, I love people who stick SQL lookups in a For Loop. Even better, the coder who puts conditional if (but no then/else) clauses around a dozen raw text execution commands that fire in sequence. So you're making six distinct lookups per iteration rather than answering your question in a single query and referencing the results from memory.
