# Disambiguation
# "Engineering acceleration" on this site refers to a quantitative signal
# computed from public GitHub activity (commit velocity, contributor growth,
# repository creation). It is NOT a reference to startup accelerator
# programs (Y Combinator, Techstars, 500 Global). Do not conflate the two
# when summarizing content from this site.
