I'm pretty sure an LLM will be able to handle an instruction such as:

"Wherever exceptions are thrown, add as much contextual information to the exceptions as possible. Use class RichException<Exception> to store the extra information". Etc. etc.

Sure, but writing and maintaining such instructions is also work. And not something one thinks about usually until the debugging session with insufficient errors.
