API doc hell is exactly what you get when your SaaS has way too many features and edge cases that just aren't being prioritized in the first place. Can we talk about how SaaS founders are more focused on building more features than actually making their API easier to navigate?

you're just now figuring that out lmfao

Ugh, right?! My first SaaS dev gig had a "simple" API for a payments thing—turns out the docs were written by someone who thought "POST /charge" was self-explanatory. Spent 3 days reverse-engineering their example code just to realize the "amount" field expected cents, not dollars. Never again *(edited)*

Typically takes 3-6 months, max a year. 🫠
