Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier"
tempest@lemmy.ca 1 week agoIm not generally making source code changes. It’s the dependencies.
Mainly we’re talking about building very old versions of things like libpng. Making things like autoconf and configure and cmake all work is a pain in the ass as their versions slowly change.
The business would be content to let it run on Ubuntu 12 until it’s a major problem so I can’t let the perfect be the enemy of good.

Fair enough. Probably a good use case for it. I’ve found it’s pretty reliable at creating boilerplate. I just wouldn’t trust it for doing anything important.
