No, I write bugs all the fucking time! That's why I want my code to panic, so I know I wrote a bug. If that shit gets stashed away in a 500 response in a Prometheus metric maybe I'll chance to see it three days later. But if the container gets blown away, I'll notice.

If your observability tools aren't firing alarms when that panic happens, you have other problems besides the panic. I would much rather find out about a bug that way vs reports from people that the service is down.
