This is why I think dev needs way stronger hierarchy. The typical flat hierarchies are trash for maintaining long term quality code and thus productivity.

All juniors should have to PR everything through seniors. All mids should have to PR at least a portion to seniors. All seniors should be vetted by the best dev the business can afford. That's the age old master-journeyman-apprentice structure, tried and tested.

At my firm, attempting to weasel out of that mentorship responsibility, such as seniors just clicking through trash PRs, or much much worse: trying to falsely automate it with git hook stuff, gets a "are you asking me to put you on a performance improvement plan?".
