Please help me understand. There are people who strongly favor static linking over dynamic linking. What is their solution to “the update problem”? You know, when there’s an update to a central library, you have to rebuild/redownload every binary that uses it. I have not seen a satisfying answer to this. What am I missing? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m actually in that camp of statically linking. The thing is there’s no right or wrong answer to this. It’s a trade off. Static linking gives you a lot of portability. Dynamic linking gives you reduce overhead. Either way both have merits. My argument personally is that I don’t have a problem with updating a binary or two or a few dozen.
