#DesignByContract literally saved my butt during my final PhD phase. Simulation results (for a waveguide) were not as expected for our novel method. I was pretty sure my code was correct because of #DbC. Dug deeper and found a relatively obscure theorem on integral representations I needed to apply. Applied the new math, and presto. Without confidence in my code, I would have probably abandoned the method and possibly the whole project.

If you're serious about #objectOriented programming, try to use #DesignByContract to the fullest extent your language supports it. Your future debugging self will thank you. At the very least, liberally use #assertions throughout your code to state what should be true at any given point in your code.
