Before I knew how to code I thought you could just start typing away at any point and get stuff done, nope.

Need thing parser ? Internet. What about writing tests ? Internet, Need to write any web application ever ? Unless you're using vanilla technology...nope, need internet.

First step of any project is literally looking at which open source libraries you'd need in the first place.

Even if you wanted to code raw logic for coding interview questions. Where would you get them without internet ?

Depends on your project, really. I'd just be way less productive without all the information to quickly look up. Can't imagine I could even find a book about Rust or Godot in my local libraries or book shops… perhaps something about the internals of Linux, wouldn't know if it's outdated or not though.
