🚨 Why You Should Avoid assert in Python in 2025

The assert statement has been a developer’s quick tool for years — but in 2025, more teams are ditching it in production.

✅ Why?

1. assert disappears in optimized mode (-O), breaking critical checks
2. It raises generic AssertionError, making debugging harder
3. Logs and metrics tied to assert can silently vanish

🔥 Learn safer alternatives:

• Explicit exceptions (raise ValueError)
• Custom exception classes
• Validation with Pydantic, FastAPI, Django, etc. 👉 Read the article: https://blog.devgenius.io/why-you-should-avoid-assert-in-python-in-2025-risks-and-safer-alternatives-0aa4a7e65646
