Well, just write more readable error messages?

How do you make this more readable:

ExceptionName: Dev-given message at Class(line number) at Class(line number) caused by AnotherCauseException: Dev-given message at Class(line number)

It's only the dev given message that may or may not be of good quality, the exact same way as it is in go. It's a plus that you can't accidentally ignore error cases, and even if a dev was lazy, you still have a pretty good record for where a given error case could originate from.

Again, I am a sysadmin, not a developer. Telling me line numbers in a files written in a language I don't understand is not helpful. I don't care where the error occurred in the code. I care what the error was so I can hopefully fix it, assuming its external and not a bug in the code.
