Brilliantly put, and accurate, but the deuce is that Serializable can be
useful if one is willing to go through all the work to design a class to use
it correctly.
Since I'm going through all the work to learn to persist object models, I'm
studying OpenJPA and Hibernate.

I hypothesize that the stack of JSF on Tomcat with a PostgreSQL back end
mediated through a JPA layer, perhaps with Spring injection, is a viable way
for a solo practitioner to make sturdy, scalable apps. You get tired of
reinventing the persistence layer with every project, and I don't have time
part-time nor personnel to invest in the kind of large-team process they use
at work. The Graal is to make big apps with just li'l ol' me.
