How is not having Internet stopping someone from coding? Just open up notepad and start typing.

Software dev here,

It doesn't stop you from typing code, but it does drastically hinder the process. You often need to pull up technical documentation (for the language, framework, platform, etc), or search the internet for things, like "C# HttpClient how to serialize JSON with a different naming policy"

Not to mention, if any of your dev resources are online, no Internet prevents you from running your code. Like, if you need to connect to an S3 bucket, AWS instance, or Azure Database

Anyone who says they've never had to look up a command is a liar.

Just do it the old fashioned way. Just imagine the huge shelves full of books* you can show off after, like, 2 months!

Or if you need a new dependency or library you can't add that
