The "don't roll your own crypto" is a mantra mostly useful for deciding what to put into production, not as a general ban on even touching the stuff before you

The "don't roll your own crypto" is a mantra mostly useful for deciding what to put into production, not as a general ban on even touching the stuff before you become some kind of mythical, long-bearded, tome-possessing wizard.
I thought this was pretty obvious but I guess this important context was not sufficiently disseminated given the prevalence of the latter position.
- bowsamic 4y agoAlmost all mantras that are stated in absolutes will be accepted by the public in every single possible way. Unfortunately, and I know it sounds unbelievable, for a lot of people it really has become "don't even think of learning about crypto", not just "don't use your own crypto in prod"
