07 — Simulator (Planned)

Status: Planned — not yet written. This stub describes what the section will contain so you know what's coming and where to contribute.

What this section will cover

Mock-interview material for self-testing under realistic conditions:

• Timed question sets — randomized draws from 02_interview_bank/ by difficulty and topic
• System design scenarios — full prompts ("Design RAG over 10M support tickets with a 300ms budget") with grading rubrics covering retrieval, generation, evaluation, and failure handling
• Follow-up chains — the interviewer's likely drill-down sequence for each scenario, so you can practice depth, not just breadth

Intended format

Scenario files with a rubric section, plus a script to draw random question sets from the bank.

In the meantime

• Self-assessment questions: 00_overview/learning_path.md
• Canonical design-answer template: 00_overview/system_design_principles.md

Contributing

Interview scenarios you've actually faced are the most valuable contribution here — see CONTRIBUTING.md.
