I'm amazed there has been little talk of modern ethics where there has actually been good progress by people like Rawls and Sandel, for example. The problem is that these ideas have not been truly applied in any way, only considered on

Based on the question you posted I'm honestly surprised, that one seems really straightforward. If you write it in a functional language it's basically impossible to mess up the design if you "make it work" only.

This 100%. There's a big difference between looking for maintainable and extendable code and the "right" solution. To me, that almost no one passes is a red flag - if you are screening resumes right and framing the question r
