No shortcuts.
Errors reach end users, and they cannot read stack traces.
Every shortcut makes for bad errors, bad troubleshooting and unhappy users.
Errors document code (you literally write, in English, what you were trying to do but failed, at each level of your program.)
Errors report to the user the clear intent that failed and why.
Errors are a huge differentiator in quality. There is no shortcut to quality.
