Saturday guide: when control isn't what it seems

This week revolved around control: who can publish, who decides what counts as theft, how much parallelism a GUC actually unlocks. We picked one tutorial for you to try hands-on and three reads to revisit what you think you already know. In the forum, the crowd is discussing how to migrate a monolith to microservices without stopping operations: it's worth reading the comments before deciding on your own strategy.

To do: this week's tutorial

[Npm creates a token that publishes a package only after human review](/back-end/npm-cria-token-que-publica-pacote-so-depois-de-revisao-humana) by Bisneto Braga.

If you've ever lost an entire release because a CI token leaked, it's worth separating today who pushes code from who approves the publish.

To read: three from the week

• [Documents reveal that Microsoft called AI scraping mass theft](/noticia/documentos-revelam-que-a-microsoft-chamou-scraping-de-ia-de-roubo-em-massa): It's worth seeing how the very internal discourse of those who train the models contradicts the public discourse on the use of protected data. (Redação iMasters)
• [PostgreSQL: max_parallel_maintenance_workers sets a ceiling, it doesn't guarantee real parallelism](/banco-de-dados/postgresql-max-parallel-maintenance-workers-define-um-teto-nao-garante-paralelis): Before raising this number on your database, understand what the parameter actually controls, and what it doesn't guarantee. (Roberto Diniz)
• [CSS container queries are not a per-component media query](/design-ux/container-queries-no-css-nao-sao-media-query-por-componente): If you use container queries only as a media query with a smaller scope, this is the moment to revisit that mental model. (Yara Uchôa)

Weekends are good for that: tell us on the forum what you're working on.
