I know people that used to work in programming with zero internet connection… this was ~10 years ago… never underestimate the idiocy of companies. P.s. it wasnt even a high security job, the owners were just paranoid boomers.
With that said, with a decent IDE with autocomplete, you can get by a lot without documentation. Its ussually the niche stuff that you need to look up on how to do it.

You’d have a wall full of documentation before internet was a common source of data.
