@dequbed I know my own experience doesn't represent general population, but for me personally "Don't roll your own crypto" didn't discourage me from learning cryptography, for me it just meant that you probably should use already proven and existing solutions instead of making your own shit in critical piece of software, but also try and learn why those are good, and generally it made me more interested in the internals of how it all works.
I don't feel anyone is discouraged from making personal projects with their own crypto for learning purposes
