We even have the options around in our compilers to treat warnings as errors. As continuation on that idea I for one was lucky earlier in my career to work with the brilliant idea of just asserting in production. Straight up crash the software when something was wrong. Wrong preconditions that could mess something in the future. "empty array where it isn't supposed to be empty, sorry crash - fix your bug". even when it kind of worked, which is the real issue... it kind of works until it doesn't. I've silently introduced this mindset into my work ever since and the quality of the result is so much better. Warnings are something that will be deferred when given the option so don't warn it is an error.
