People always say this but how else are you going to learn? I doubt many of us who are "rolling our own crypto" are actually deploying it into mission critical contexts anyway.
- Arainach 2y agoAsking an LLM to do something for you doesn't involve any learning at all.
- halfmatthalfcat 2y agoI’m not talking about the LLM case, just the mantra of “don’t roll your own crypto” constantly. Comes off as unnecessarily gatekeepy.
- rsynnott 2y agoI mean, by that, people don't generally mean, literally, "never write your own crypto". They just mean "on no account _use_ self-written crypto for anything".
