-- Nvim contributors should read `:help dev`.
-- External UI developers should read `:help dev-ui`.
-- API client developers should read `:help dev-api-client`.
-- Nvim developers are _strongly encouraged_ to install `ninja` for faster builds.
+- Read `:help dev` if you are working on Nvim core.
+- Read `:help dev-ui` if you are developing a UI.
+- Read `:help dev-api-client` if you are developing an API client.
