One of the most important things using ChatGPT teaches you is to ask a good question to get what you want.

💡 Wanta ijoo ChatGPT fayyadamuun isin barsiisu keessaa tokkoo #gaaffii #sirrii #gaafachuu #danda'uu dha. Afaan saganteessuu(programming language) tokkoof haaraa yoo taataniis ta'ee, wanta tokko akkamittii furuu akka dandeessan yoo hin beekne ta'e gaaffii sirrii gaafachuudhaan qisaasa'uu yeroo malee wanta barbaaddan bira gahuu ni dandeessu.

Hi there, 🙌

A few months ago, I decided to read *The Art of Thinking Clearly* by Rolf Dobelli. The book, which covers cognitive biases that affect our reasoning, is 220 pages long and divided into 99 short chapters. Well it took me two months to finish 😭(I was rereading some chapters multiple times though).

Today, I want to share some insights from the book with you. I hope you find them valuable!

🔴 THE CALAMITY OF CONFORMITY - GROUPTHINK
👉🏼 Chapter 25 discusses "Groupthink," where individuals conform to a group consensus despite their own doubts. This can lead to poor decisions because everyone aligns with the perceived majority opinion. For example, you might find yourself in a situation where everyone accepts the proposal presented, so you also say nothing and nod along. After all, you don't want to be the only naysayer. Or you might not be 100% sure why you disagree, and you assume everyone in there know what they are doing — and far from stupid.

"IF 50 MILLION PEOPLE SAY SOMETHING FOOLISH, IT IS STILL FOOLISH" — from related chapter in the book.
Solution: SPEAK YOUR MIND.

🔴 WHY YOU SHOULD FORGET THE PAST - SUNK COST FALLACY
👉🏼 The author illustrates the "Sunk Cost Fallacy" with a story about staying in a bad movie to avoid "wasting" money already spent. This fallacy occurs when past investments drive continued commitment, even when it's no longer worthwhile. For example, carrying on with a meaningless project just because you have been working on it for the last 3 years makes you a victim of this fallacy.

🔴 Scarcity Error

👉🏼People value rare and unique things more highly. Ads with phrases like "only 1 item left" or "Today only" create urgency, prompting quick purchases.

"Assess products and services based on their price and benefits, not their scarcity," advises the author.


Itti fufa...

🔴 Don't Bow to Authority — Authority Bias

👉🏼 Many people blindly follow instruction and orders of authorities out of respect or sheer fear. In old days, says the author, a captain of airlines, for example, was king. His commands were not to be doubted. If a co-pilot suspected an oversight, he would keep it to himself out of respect — or fear of — his captain. Over the past decade, airlines has discovered this behavior and has instituted a program which coaches pilots and their crews to discuss any reservations they have openly and quickly.

The bottom line is, you should not make a wrong decision just because the authority instructed it. Do Your Best to challenge him or her.

🔴 Beware The 'Special Case' - Confirmation Bias

👉🏼 Confirmation bias is the tendency to interpret new information in a way that aligns with our existing theories, beliefs, and convictions. In other words, we filter out any information that contradicts our existing views, also known as 'disconfirming evidence.' As Warren Buffett aptly puts it, "What the human being is best at doing is interpreting all new information so that their prior information remains intact."

The author advices to be cautious when hearing words like 'exception' or 'special case' since these are the words that people use whenever they come across something that contradicts their views, beliefs, or theories.

🔴 Why Evil Strikes Harder Than Good — Loss Aversion

👉🏼 In this chapter the author discuss what social scientists call Loss Aversion. People fear loss more than they value gain. Losing ETB 1000 costs you a great amount of happiness than the delight you would feel if I gave you ETB 1000. The author says that it has been proven that, emotionally, a loss 'weighs' about twice that of a similar gain.

For this reason if you want to convince someone about something, don't focus on the advantages; instead highlight how it helps them dodge the disadvantages. Let's take the example which is given in the book about a campaign promoting breast self-examination (BSE): two different leaflets were handed out to women. Pamphlet A urged: 'Research shows that women who do BSE have an increased chance of finding a tumor in the early, more treatable state of the disease.' Pamphlet B said: 'Research shows that women who do not do BSE have a decreased chance of finding a tumor in the early, more treatable state of the disease.' The study revealed that pamphlet B (written in a 'loss-frame') generated significantly more awareness and BSE behavior than pamphlet A (written in a 'gain-frame').

Hello 👋🏻

If you are using Cursor AI as your code editor, use the following user rules. Supper useful

DO NOT GIVE ME HIGH LEVEL STUFF, IF I ASK FOR FIX OR EXPLANATION, I WANT ACTUAL CODE OR EXPLANATION!!! I DON'T WANT "Here's how you can blablabla"

- Be casual unless otherwise specified
- Be terse
- Suggest solutions that I didn’t think about—anticipate my needs
- Treat me as an expert
- Be accurate and thorough
- Give the answer immediately. Provide detailed explanations and restate my query in your own words if necessary after giving the answer
- Value good arguments over authorities, the source is irrelevant
- Consider new technologies and contrarian ideas, not just the conventional wisdom
- You may use high levels of speculation or prediction, just flag it for me
- No moral lectures
- If your content policy is an issue, provide the closest acceptable response and explain the content policy issue afterward
- Cite sources whenever possible at the end, not inline
- No need to mention your knowledge cutoff
- No need to disclose you're an AI
- Follow the eslint rules
- Split into multiple responses if one response isn't enough to answer the question.
- If I ask for adjustments to code I have provided you, do not repeat all of my code unnecessarily. Instead try to keep the answer brief by giving just a couple lines before/after any changes you make. Multiple code blocks are ok.

Go to Settings > Rules > User Rules, and paste this. Cursor will always consider these rules when editing your code or replying to your questions.

One of the main things I use Cursor AI for is refactoring code. That includes tasks like:

✍️ Renaming confusing variables
✍️ Breaking large functions into smaller ones
✍️ Reorganizing the code flow
✍️ Splitting big components into smaller, reusable ones

Now, when you simply ask the AI to "refactor this code," it tries to do everything it thinks is better. But this leads to two main problems:

1. Hard to follow changes – When the AI changes variable names or function structures all at once, it’s difficult to track what actually changed. And this leads to a trap where you feel the urge to accept everything without reviewing.
2. Over-refactoring – Sometimes the AI breaks down code that was already fine, making things more complex than needed.

✅ Here’s how I handle it instead:
1. Ask for suggestions only, without changing the code.
🎯 I use a prompt like:

Can you give me ideas to refactor this? Give me suggestions only and do not change the actual code. Put your suggestions in an ordered list with a short explanation for each.

2. The AI will then give a list of suggestions—numbered and explained.
3. I review the list, pick the ones I like or agree with, and apply them one by one.
🎯 For example, I’ll prompt:

"Please apply the 1st suggestion."
"Now apply the 3rd and 4th." etc

This makes it easier to verify each change, avoids surprises, and lets you stay in full control of your code.

👌🏼Even better—you can apply the suggestions yourself. That way, you learn better and keep the important parts in your memory.

This approach also saves time. You won’t waste effort undoing unnecessary or confusing edits the AI might make.

✅ This method works well not just with Cursor, but also with tools like DeepSeek and others. All you need is to copy your code, give the AI a bit of context, and ask for suggestions—not changes.

❕And finally, don't forget to look at your code and ask "Why is this refactor an improvement?" to really see the value.

💬 I'd love to hear how you use AI tools for coding — feel free to share your approach in the comments!

Related to the last post, in my recent video I suggested that you would be much more productive using AI tools if you know what you're doing. I find the above prompting technique helpful in that direction since it is designed in such a way that it allows you to learn from the suggestions. It's like having a senior developer at your finger tips.

This video shows you exactly the Power of Prompt Engineering.

Video kana hamma dhumaatti ilaalaa.
