This is the way I thought about it after reading the OP—virtue ethics as time-consistent consequentialism. But maybe I don’t understand correctly what means to be a virtue ethicist. If it is “try to modify your source code¹ to consistently perform the best actions on average”, it does oppose neither consequentialism nor deontology: “best” may be evaluated using whatever standard.
¹) I dislike the epression but couldn’t find a better formulation
