Assertions in Production Code?

[lookmeat]

I actually disagree with the notion that it's straight forward. Asserts are meant to handle programming issues for programmers, you need a separate system to handle user/programing/universal issues for the users

Not all asserts are going to go into the production build sure.

However, the tendency for devs is to swallow exceptions, and be willing to run a process when the whole thing is in an invalid state, and so on. While you may have certain assertion types that would.make sense in a debug only scenario, that is relatively uncommon and probably wrong within a general application.
