Seniors are going to need to hold Juniors to a high bar for understanding and explaining what they are committing. Otherwise it will become totally soul destroying to have a bunch of juniors submitting piles of nonsense and claiming they are blocked on you all the time.

This was challenging enough pre AI. Now that everybody has an AI slop button, the life of an effective code reviewer just got so much more miserable.
Make them first go through an AI reviewer that is informed by the code base's standards.
Due to recent events at work this is a venue I will start exploring.

I didn't grasp how quickly this would become a problem, but "juniors with a slop button" is indeed a reality now. And I lack the ability to let things slide.
