Your post contributes nothing besides feel-good nonsense. That is why it should be removed.
To anyone reading this - yes, if all you want is to be able to call yourself a programmer in your head, feel free to if all you know is HTML/CSS. While you're at it, take a statistics class and call yourself a machine learning engineer, and take a whittling class and call yourself a carpenter.
If you actually want to get a job as a programmer, I would recommend getting a working knowledge of a programming language, and potentially start by looking at one of the better articles on this site. If all you've written in a programming language is a hello world - then yes, you are a programmer. Keep on with it if it is interesting to you.
And if you, OP, read this comment, then I want you to know that it is not my purpose here to be constructive, helpful, or even agreeable toward you - I only hope to enlighten others that this is not a realistic point of view that you hold.
