Not to sound mean but that is a big ask for the small salary listed.

That's a normal salary for a senior dev in Poland
GOG and MAGOG end of times biblical shit going down! /s
Literally the top requested feature in the forums, then they cleared it out and it became ...the top requested feature in the forums
i hope they join valve and fund proton.
I had been using Heroic Launcher to manage my GOG library on Linux. It works well enough, but an official Linux native GOG client would certainly be welcome.

there’s a lot to be excited for, but
Job requirements

- Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption
ew.
It’s so weird, i read this in a bunch of jon listings nowadays. How the fuck is it a requirement?!?! You should be fluent in CPP, but also please outsource your brain and encourage the team to do so as well. People are weird man.
It means that the parent company has major investors in the LLM space.

The future looks to involve a mixture of AI and traditional development. There are things I do with AI that I could never touch the speed of with traditional development. But the vast majority of dev work is just traditional methods with maybe an AI rubber duck and then review before opening the PR to catch the dumb mistakes we all make sometimes. There is a massive difference between a one-off maintenance script or functional skeleton and enterprise code that has been fucked up for 15 years and the AI is never going to understand why you can't just do the normal best practice thing.
A good developer will be familiar enough with AI to know the difference, but it'll be a tool they use a couple times a month (highly dependent on the job) in big ways and maybe daily in insignificant ways if they choose.
Companies want a staff prepared for that state, not dragging their heels because they refuse to learn. I've been at this for thirty year's and I've had to adapt to a number of changes I didn't like. But like a lot of job skills we've had to develop over the years — such as devops — it'll be something that you engage for specific purposes, not the whole job.
Even when the AI bubble does burst, AI won't go away entirely. OpenAI isn't the only provider and local AI is continuing to close the gap in terms of capability and hardware. In that environment, it may become even more important to know when the tool is a good fit and when it isn't.

Ew.
That's every company right now
It's sad that this is basically everywhere these days, and employers will weigh your performance review based on whether you're using AI and how well you're using it. It's terrible.
This is a "big part" of my job. In five months what I've accomplished is adding AI usage to jira along with a way to indicate how many story points it wound up saving or costing. Let's see how this plays out.
If AI collapses as many expect it to, this job will still be there without that requirement.
I hope the bubble pops soon, and only smaller and more sustainable models stay

Nice to see GOG putting real effort into Linux support. Modernizing a native client is exactly the kind of work that actually benefits users long-term.
Hell yeah!
I love this! I love that it's getting more attention and cross-platform support.
I just wish it wasn't yet another launcher, and that all these companies got together to develop the one Open Source version everyone writes adapters for. Galaxy, at the time it was released, promised to be a way to have all of them... and then I discovered playnite (which worked better and has more options) and I cannot help but wonder if GOG's efforts wouldn't be better directed that way. Specially since my understanding is that the tool is undergoing a rewrite for cross-platform support.

Upvoted because its gog. :)
I wonder what they've been doing in the meantime when a Linux native client was the most requested feature for so long.
GOG was recently bought from CDPR and is now owned by one of the co-founders, if I remember right. The focus shift towards finally giving the bare minimum of fucks about Linux likely has something to do with that.
CDPR is the game dev studio. Their parent company, CD Projekt was who owned GOG. CDPR had nothing to do with it.
Right, thanks. I always get them mixed up
imagine if they stopped using CEF.
Okay, in other words: I won't be buying any more Steam games 🐳
Got enough stuff in my library to last until GoG starts working nicely enough on Linux 🐧
You don't need GOG galaxy to install and run GOG games. In fact you shouldn't if you care about keeping your games.
Currently happily using Heroic to manage GOG games. But, I still welcome GOG putting in effort to make it a smooth experience.

Disagree. The fewer barriers to using a game the better. GOG offers full DRM free downloads regardless of Galaxy existing.
Not using a launcher equals fewer barriers. GOG installers work out of the box with Wine. The whole point of GOG is literally that you can do all of that without restrictions like say... Being forced to use a launcher. So it's not a big deal if Galaxy for Linux isn't around.

I don't have the C++ experience but sounds like a cool project
