Is this a trick question, and "HTML isn't technically code" the correct answer? Because it's not. It's a step up from typesetting. There is a small if very vocal minority of webdevs acting like their work is the most meaningful and complex work imaginable when the "source code" they work with is what you would get if a 2nd year CS student was asked to re-implement LaTeX in XML. Gatekeeping is so much more prevalent in webdev because it's really not that complicated until you abstract your framework a couple levels up and then insist it's the industry standard.
