No, just terribly uncomfortable 
Imagine your hero in the movie connecting his/her USB-keyboard to a nuke just to have it BSOD, explode, and have you out of the movie-theatre just five minutes after the movies started.
The sequal to that movie? Well, war is declared, but before it can be declared the PC has to reboot. Don't turn off your computer, installing update 1 of 146.

Continuous delivery brings big business benefits to application development – it’s time to give the database the same benefits, says Simon Galbraith, chief executive and co-founder of Redgate. But those big database diagrams look so nice on my wall

RedGate make some excellent tools and they really do make database schema comparison and migration a lot easier - but it is still a really difficult problem.

Programming languages definitely go out of style, but they rarely die. I need a line about something refusing to die (that isn't from Hotel California)

I think there's something peculiar about me that I haven't died. It doesn't make sense but i refuse to die.

Funny that they left BASIC out of the list. And some (not I) would argue C++ belongs there too.

Sure, but it's a MOAL -- Mother Of All Languages, at least "C" like languages.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe,
Stack shifts off the compiler in Oberon,
I've seen java beans glitter in the framework by a TTL gate.
All these...moments...will be disposed in time,
like threads in a pool.
Time ... to compile[^]

Absolutely love that film and quote, excellent paraphrasing 
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

COBOL.. studied in college; don't miss it.
Fortran... used from 1986 to about 2005 in industry.. fond memories.
As much as people love to hate BASIC (and its progeny), it is still a work horse of the industry. I may not like using VBA to automate some tasks, but, with the 3rd party tools I use, they chose VBA as the scripting engine... so, use it I do.

Ummm... What?! "Microsoft’s widely popular 1985 version was called Turbo Pascal."

That was my thought exactly (see following post).

I particularly like the line:
"Microsoft’s widely popular 1985 version was called Turbo Pascal."
Perfect in every way, except accuracy. Initially released in 1983, by Borland.
(If Bloomberg's accuracy can be measured by the likes of this article, on a field I know about, it is no wonder our financial systems are up the creek without a paddle).

Many software developers are cribbing code, and its flaws, that someone else created. And the problem is only getting harder to keep up with. Ctrl+V considered harmful?
Or for you cranky old folk, Ctrl+Ins

Another reason copy/paste is ushering the slow decline of humanity.

It is true that using code coming from made by others means you are inheriting their flaws. But if the developers did everything from scratch, would they have a better result, or even more flaws (of all kinds, including security vulnerabilities)?
One of the reasons to use code made by others is that "such code was created by experts on those areas and was largely tested" and it would be extremely difficult to do a better job.
I am not saying it is impossible but it is far from being a reality for most programmers and companies.

Like this[^]? Or this[^]? Or this[^]?
Seriously, for the love of bacon, don't follow any of those tutorials!
Many "experts" don't have to first idea how to write secure code. They churn out tutorials explaining how to do things in the least secure way possible, and thousands of novice developers copy the code verbatim, without taking the time to understand the code or check for vulnerabilities.
And when people who do know better try to point out the flaws in the tutorial's code, we're generally ignored.

Actually I wasn't even talking about copying code... but about using libraries.
I personally love to "reinvent" the wheel, be it because of performance concerns, security concerns or simply to learn how those things work internally.
Yet, many developers really prefer to get already made code and, if they can't find, they will do an even less secure implementation. No, I am not saying that "copying from others" will be good. I am saying that allowing developers that are simply not of that domain to do it will be even worse.
Also note that I quoted that "such code was created by experts on those areas and was largely tested" by a reason. That's the belief to use code made by others. I don't agree with the statement as is.

Shift+Ins, Ctrl+Ins, Shift+Del
It's still painful using a keyboard where I can't use those shortcuts.

IMHO, This is possible if only if they do a system that entirely depends on other people work and couldn't or less possible way testing it.
