Well ofcause you can improve the quality of your code by
educating your developers, but you cannot avoid doing code review.
    Developers are lazy and they will commit errors.

More to the point, they are human, and even developers that are not lazy
will occasionally make mistakes.  Simply finding a committed programmer who
understands security will not produce a secure product.
