A good developer not only knows how to use a tool, but also knows when to deviate from the standard approach for a particular purpose. This could include situations like handling complex file uploads, integrating with external services that don't fit into the standard CRUD model, or implementing custom authentication flows.

Clear overview of when ABP’s auto-generated APIs are sufficient and when custom controllers make sense. It would be helpful to see a concrete example comparing both approaches in a real-world scenario, especially around authorization or DTO customization.
