I don't quite agree. Why would a non-developer be interested in a code
page? I can think of three reasons:

- the page shouldn't have been hidden if users want to reach it
- the user is trying to change something in the code, which is actually
a developer task, so even if the user isn't an actual developer, he acts
as one temporarily
- the user is trying to adjust something, which means that there's a
configuration missing; still, I'd argue that this is also a developer task
