I mean, right clicking my browser shows "View source code". Are we going to giggle about how those dumb browser developers don't know that it's not actually the application server source code, or can we admit it's the source code of the rendered page, a different layer of the stack? Is it really that much of a mistake to shorten "Twitter's [html] source code"? Frankly, I think a bigger pedant could come in here and correct you.

I don't know what browser you're using, but in Brave it says "View page source" not "View source code".

At least one major researcher studying programming (and how people learn to program) would agree with you! Check out Alan Blackwell's "What is programming" paper from 2002. In it, he argues that we should not be asking "is writing html programming", because that question comes from an older (past overdue for revision) mental model of what programming is all about.
