Well, the only thing i need to write code is to be alive. No Github or AWS? No problem, have local copies of everything. No Claude? ok, i have local llm to give some help. So, internet is not so needed to write code. No IDE's just a CLI? Sure all i need is a text editor and a compiler/linker working. No computer or electricity? Get a pen and paper and start writing code on paper, will get to the computer when possible. I do not depend on cloud working to be productive.

No pen a and paper? Compile it on fleshware.

It's not a question of what you can do, but where the comfort level reduction outweighs the project importance/pay.
