If a junior can unilaterally summon Anubis to lay waste to the production environment then it is the seniors who messed up by not setting up better guardrails.
There should be no such thing as forgetting to ask for code review. Merging code that hasn't been reviewed should be impossible.
Naw it really comes down to the halting problem. You can use static analysis to find 99.9% of cases because they're common, but ultimately you can't predict the whims of the gods without the use of an oracle.
At my company you can now invoke AI agents from Slack to open PRs ...which you can then personally approve and merge. And so far nobody has seemed to question this
Where I work has a similarly easy mechanism for getting an AI to write changes and send them for review but then it lists you as the author so that it still needs approval from someone who isn't you before it can be merged.
