A comment on Netlify was down.

I spent about 10 minutes trying to work out why `netlify dev` was hanging on my local machine, thinking I'd accidentally nerfed something in npm, before I tried to check the docs and discovered they were down. I forgot that `netlify dev` even needed an internet connection.

Not sure how I feel about this "connected local development" concept at the moment...

i think the connection's for getting the environment vars from netlify

It also does some magic with node modules in lambda functions, so that you can import them without packaging them locally. Any functions using that...I don't know what to call it, module proxy I guess...break in offline mode.
