As someone who went from Photoshop -> FrontEnd WebDev -> FullstackWeb -> MobileDev… I feel inclined to say markup isn’t programming.
The engines that injest CSS and display them on screens (aka developing browsers) is programming. Otherwise it’s just intent based markup.
For example, using CSS to say <p> tag content should be green is pretty trivial. Actually programming that to display the text, in the font of choice, in the language, wrapped to the screen width, compiled to work on the device’s hardware - is programming!
Giving me a css statement
p: {
text-color: blue;
}
Is bul*+* easy. You did not nothing other than just give an intent to the system and be amazed at the results
