I absolutely recommend you try to roll your own cryptography! You can learn a lot and we need more people interested in the study!
You won't be able to use your custom algorithms to protect anything, but that's OK! Learn how its broken, how people have fixed these issues elsewhere, and make cool shit!
ok yeah i guess important clarification: DO NO DO THIS AND THEN USE IT IN PRODUCTION
Ironically it's the crypto bros who are teaching a new generation about the risks of rolling your own security.
