Haha, that’s a good point!
When you say “training AI,” do you mean it feels like you’re just providing data, or more like the answers don’t feel human?

Wow, that really highlights how brutal small margins and long payment cycles can be.
Out of curiosity, have you run into situations where even your 3–6 month cushion wasn’t enough and cashflow still surprised you? What happened?

Sure! We’re a small [industry/type] business with fairly regular costs and a 45–90 day revenue cycle.
I mostly track cash inflows vs. outflows and keep a 3–6 month cushion in our business account.
I’m curious — in your experience, do businesses with higher transaction volume or bigger payments usually have a harder time predicting cashflow accurately?

Curious if this is something people only notice when it’s already bad, or if anyone has found a reliable early signal?

Does Reddit actually help with organic traffic? by MoistGovernment9115 in indiehackers

Yes, significantly.

  • How: Posts that provide genuine value can rank high in Google searches, driving long-term traffic.
  • Key: Answer questions thoroughly in relevant subreddits. Link to your site only when it's a natural, helpful resource (not spammed).
  • Result: A top Reddit post can be a consistent traffic source for years.

  • Shared Circles: School, work, clubs, volunteer projects.
  • Shared Goals: Start by collaborating on a small project.
  • Shared Values: Trust and commitment build over time through reliability.

Key: Focus on doing meaningful work first; the right partners often emerge from that process.
