If it checks with Apple servers every time you execute a new binary, what happens if you don't have an Internet connection? Are you just unable to run new code?

The linked website isn't loading, so I don't know what it says, but: if we're talking about notarization, you can "staple" the notarization to a .app or a .pkg, which means you don't have to do the internet lookup at all, and you can run the apps without having access to the internet. I'm not sure about the technical details, but I would assume you add some sort of signature that's like "This .app with hash X has been notarized and it's fine" signed by Apple's secret key.

EDIT: how to staple: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_m...

That doesn't help with self-written code, however, since you can't notarize without internet either.
