I believe you can pronounce it both ways. Like Tomato. Some people say "tow may toe" and some say "ta mot oh." (even though I've never heard that way, you get the idea)
That being said the developer is loving handicapped.

there's no legitimate grammatical reason that it couldn't be "jif"
it happens all the time. for example, "gist" is pronounced with a soft g, but "gill" is pronounced with a hard one
there's nothing even remotely wrong on a grammar level with pronouncing it with a soft g
however, the soft g sounds bad, so the hard g is better in my opinion
it really doesn't matter what the creator said, words are pronounced differently by different people even more often than english's grammar rules have exceptions
