Ive found that I work this way often enough in the professional world, the problem for me is when management/leadership decides to average the devs' treatment and i get micromanaged despite delivering early and at or beyond scope/requirements. In recent times, this has gotten to the point that I stop delivering early, and end up spending more time 'validating' scope/requirements than actually doing the work... simply due to the overhead of having my time minced by someone else's "best practice" beliefs.
