The best way to protect your development is to carefully grant the S_DEVELOP privilege. Only give it to the right people and only give it to develop Z* range of code.
S4HANA developer key
The title is a bit misleading. In S4HANA there are no developer keys and object keys any more.
Background of this change be SAP can be found in OSS note: 2309060 – The SSCR license key procedure is not supported in SAP S/4 HANA.
So in S4HANA, you must set up authorizations for S_DEVELOP properly.

With S_DEVELOP you have to set create/change rights for the packages and or objects. For custom code only hand out Z* privileges.
If you hand out a * for the objects or classes, then the developer can also change standard SAP.
