[you're right]

$100 is 1/50th of a $5,000 per month employee. From looking at your business from the website in your profile it feels like high quality API docs could speed up many members of the team.

It's hard to evaluate situations from the outside so I could also be totally off. At Jungle Disk we consume a ton of tools and they are all easily positive ROI. Good people are hard to find and expensive vs. SaaS subscriptions.

Where on God’s green earth do you have a $5,000 per month employee writing API documentation?

I'm not sure if your reaction is because it's high or low!

WIt's not just writing. ReadMe doesn't write anything for you. You'd have to build the "platform" before anything is actually written.

But $5k/mo works out to be a ~$30k salary after taxes.

Because it’s low of course. You actually have $60k employees who can write API docs?
