Last week lcamtuf published a blog post on corporate life which exactly fits here. Whatever you do as a staff for your company, they still can fire you easily. Corporates want you to consider them as family, but they don't do it themselves.
I thought this was a joke until I realized you were serious; I was expecting that as I read further into the list it would get to "-develop without using my hands" and "-develop with my eyes closed" (which are legitimate situations for disabled developers, btw) but which would be absurd for anyone to practice under conventional conditions.
I accidentally find close my eyes while doing things helps.
When I'm running I periodically close my eyes and it helps me breathe a lot.
When I'm programming I often close my eyes if I know what's the current state and what operations I'm going to do for several following steps, until I lose track of them. It helps me to concentrate and recover my sanity.
Terrifyingly, losing your hands or eyes is way more likely than experiencing an Internetless apocalypse, so those would be way more germane software survival skills.
