I agree that development processes can get in the way, especially when they aren't designed or managed properly. However, the point of the process is to enforce consistency. If you have no process, then everything is dependent on the whims of the programmer in charge of the project. No code review? Then I have to trust your code is spotless. You want to be left alone in a library until the project is done? Then I have to trust you understand the product owners requirements perfectly. You want to be in charge of the project? Then I have to trust you can handle that. If I just hired you, why should I trust you? Based on your comment, I wouldn't trust you at all. You sound like the kind of person who only learns lessons the hard way.
