"educate them what ever I learn" here I meant just making them aware about what is latest going on I am not pushing for that, instead I push them to learn about stuff which will be useful in near future.

Agreed. MBA just helped me a bit, but I guess most of my career is a result of coding & sitting with fellow programmers spending nights and learning vudu tricks.

Well I am an MBA(IT)[+ Mechanical Engg.], and right now I am managing some 15+ people engg team. I can very confidently say that being an MBA has helped me a lot. It gave me an insight in being a leader and made my job of managing a engineering team easy.

However I started my career as developer and have spent 7+ years in developing complex systems. The one difference I could always notice was leadership/initiative distinction between me and other developers and I used to think why these guys are not able to manage their time and guide their juniors. Simply they were not able to think beyond code(I am not generalising but the pattern I noticed with obvious exceptions).

Does it affect location apis or places auto complete apis as well?

I am surprised to see, that people are not able to redirect it to some decent maintenance page. What could have gone wrong at tech?

True. They seems helpless.

Down again. For sure someone is playing with it.

It is backup again now.

If I am not wrong then there was a townhall meeting going on @ Mumbai headquarters when it all happened.

BTW! It went down at around 4:15PM IST and came backup at 4:35PM IST for couple of minutes. After that same story.
