Most READMEs are terrible. The biggest issue many of them make is failing to include one or two simple examples.

Exactly! It's so frustrating. I mainly deal with Eurocode, not computer code but the issue exists there too. It's so vague that there's whole another industry of people trying to decipher and explain what the code means and how it's applied. The lack of examples have really driven people to insanity lol. In structural engineering there's often no easy ways to test if your results are correct or not if you misunderstood the code...
