I rely on the internet just as much as the rest of you. When that goes down, I crack out man pages, and the local copy of the documentation I can build from source code comments, and (after a 5-minute delay while I figure out how to do that) I'm back to programming. I'm probably half as quick, but I'm also learning more (speeding me up when the internet does come back on), so overall it's not actually time lost.

Or I can just take a break, go to the gym downstairs, etc …

Before you go on about kids these days, my first time coding was on an Apple //e in assembly.
