Assertions should enforce invariants, not signal error conditions. Unlike Exceptions, AssertionErrors are not caught by catch (Exception e) and may be more unpredictable.
We should try to only ever use assertions for cases that can never happen unless there's been a programming mistake on our side.
Everything else, e.g. server responses, network errors, client's input (ORM) should be dealt with via exceptions.
