I finally got myself in trouble at work

...and you said how many pages long is you resume? ;)

How many pages would you like it to be? The last time I looked for a job was more than 6 years ago. Anything changed since that time? Can I still expect a sign-on bonus? :)

The management discovered that I have written code that changes the way the system works. The new code will solve a real urgent problem we are facing and I never said it has to go the way I designed and coded. We don't have any workable solution for this problem and any solution including mine involves regression testing everything. However, that is not the issue. The issue is that I have been doing the work while working on a lot of other projects assigned to me, and they don't know about it. Process, Process, Process, ... Can you predict what kind of punishment I will get? What will you do if you are my manager?
This depends - like what happens when people have to deal with the changes you've made. This could cost a lot of extra work for them if it behaves in unexpected ways. Next time tell your boss about the change beofre you release it and make it clear your assigned tasks haven't suffered. Elaine :rose:

Hey now, processes are important! They keep process designers employed designing them. That stunt you pulled, well, who knows how many budding statisticians and wanna-be dictators it'll deprive of work?

Ten months writing after-the-fact justifications for what you did. Complete with pages and pages of bogus numbers and colorful graphs and charts.

Nothing. But, i like it when work gets done. That's why i'm not in management.

And we spend a lot of time figuring out why a system suddenly behaves differently then having to rewrite our code..

I think you got it all wrong. The code I wrote has not been released yet. Actually, it is more than a month away before we can release it. They are just not happy that I wrote the code without telling them. If they don't have my solution, they would probably wish a workable solution appear out of nowhere.
