Epistemic depth is described as code that works temporarily without being understood by maintainers. Lack of stack trace literacy, control-flow reasoning, and architectural understanding makes developers dependent on tools that cannot replace judgment. Junior developers can create working-looking software without being able to diagnose production failures. Super juniors can move quickly with prompts but lack architectural sense and struggle with deeper problems.
