You Must Fix Your Asserts (Zig)

The article argues that disabling asserts in production code is a harmful practice, explaining how Zig's assert system works based on the `unreachable` language feature to mark impossible code paths. In unchecked build modes (ReleaseFast, ReleaseSmall), failed asserts don't crash but cause undefined behavior, which the author contends is worse than crashing because it enables compiler optimizations that can lead to subtle bugs rather than immediate failures.
