re: I built a fence with the pretty side facing me - am I a prick?

"One lesson from Paul Jobs (Steve Jobs father) was particularly influential, Isaacson explains.

Growing up, Jobs once helped his father build a fence around their family home in Mountain View. While working, Paul shared a piece of advice with Jobs: “You’ve got to make the back of the fence, that nobody will see, just as good looking as the front of the fence,” Isaacson told “60 Minutes.” “Even though nobody will see it, you will know, and that will show that you’re dedicated to making something perfect.”

The idea stuck with Jobs."

From Walter Isaacson who wrote the biography Steve Jobs
