idk about all that morality stuff. At the end of the day, my job has become a minimal part of my life. When you can sleepwalk and do a Good Job [1] and get paid a quarter million, why blink?

I understand and I applaud you. It’s a good life you got going there (it seems). I’m just personally grabbed by the question “what is virtue” in a way that’s hard to shake. I can come off annoying and I try hard not to.

Have a great weekend.

Personally, I'm with the GP here... I don't think you'll find it at the bottom of a (contemporary software engineering) employment contract.
