To be honest you just seem to be coming up with impractical/unrealistic and idealistic counter arguments.
Does anyone really go to that much effort just so they can be offline?
Don't get me wrong, if I was going to a remote place without internet and needed to do some coding there, your suggestions make sense, even though I think there are pitfalls to that approach as then you're working off "static data/comments,etc" which might require further context or more recent context, which you'll need the Internet for.
- drenvuk 5y agoHow is mocking services impractical? You have to do it anyway for tests. How is having their source code impractical? You should have downloaded it anyway. The only one that might seem extreme is downloading the SO dbs. I have done this because I stay offline so I can better focus. Not everyone (probably very few) will reach that point. I think you're overblowing how recent the information you require is tbh. You can get a lot done with months old information.
