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

Not having access to the internet is like not having access to 80% of your brain

So you'll just code 20% of the project and the rest when internet is back up /j
