The quoted text says "as" and clearly intends that meaning.

Ah, thank you for the term in question. Found a relevant link: https://www.writethedocs.org/guide/docs-as-code/
"There is a lot more to building a proper Docs as Code workflow. There are a couple books we recommend that you check out:
Docs Like Code - Anne Gentle
Modern Technical Writing - Andrew Etter
"

That's not how language works, their phrase (that does not actually have a widely used established meaning) means what they meant, not what you say it means.

Yes, that term does have a widely established meaning within the specific context of discussion, technical writing. If the commentator is unaware of what 'docs as code' means in the context under discussion and meant something different, I encourage them to disambiguate by picking a term not already so defined.
