Your RAG pipeline is returning stale answers after a data refresh. Walk me through your debugging approach.
Model Answer
First I'd check if the vector index actually re-embedded the new documents, or if it's serving a cached index. Then I'd trace whether the retriever is even pulling the updated chunks before blaming the LLM.

100 Scenario-Based GenAI Q&A
From My Own Interviews
100 Scenario-Based GenAI Interview Q&A - From My Own Interviews I didn't scrape these questions off the internet. Every single one was asked to me, across real Gen AI Engineer interviews, by real interviewers who weren't testing definitions. They were testing whether I actually understood the systems I claimed to have built. Some of these exact questions, when I posted them on LinkedIn, crossed 100K+ impressions on their own because engineers recognized the questions instantly. These aren't generic prep material. They're the questions actually being asked in Gen AI interviews right now. Most interview prep teaches you to explain concepts. This teaches you to survive the follow-up question - the one that comes right after your "correct" answer the one that actually decides the offer. What's inside: → 100 real scenario-based Q&A, structured exactly how the interview happened - the question, my answer, the follow-up that pushed deeper, and what I learned from it → Covers the full Gen AI engineering stack: RAG, AI Agents, LangGraph, MCP, Pydantic, FastAPI, prompt injection, guardrails, evaluation, monitoring & observability, and production system design → Every session ends with a reflection question - so you're not just reading, you're rehearsing your own answer. → Delivered as an interactive, searchable web app - not a static PDF. Filter by topic, search by keyword, track what you've reviewed Who this is for: → You're actively interviewing for Gen AI Engineer / AI Engineer / LLM Engineer roles. → You know the concepts but freeze on the "what would you actually do" follow-up → You want to sound like someone who's shipped production systems - not someone who watched a YouTube tutorial Why this is different: Some of this content already proved itself on LinkedIn, reaching 100K+ engineers organically. This isn't a guess at what interviewers ask. It's a record of what they actually asked me, validated by an audience that recognized it as real. If you want to walk into your next Gen AI interview already knowing the shape of the conversation - this is that.
