I've fought with this on and off. It is true that my work tends to be as internet dependent as anyone's, but I've experimented with an offline-first type of workflow. I think it's entirely possible to work offline first and foremost. You'd need the documentation for everything local. Operating system, programming language, libraries, frameworks, etc. Mass storage makes this more practical now than ever. A lot of projects don't provide very downloadable documentation which would make it harder and, of course, you'd miss out on knowing when the documentation is lying. The biggest problem with it is probably nothing intrinsic, but the fact that you'd be swimming upstream doing it.
