" summary

The talk explains the concept of "functional decline": how a maturing product accumulates functional debt that makes adding new features harder and costlier because past decisions are forgotten or now seem poor. It compares functional decline to technical debt and presents managing and regulating that decline as part of product creation and lifecycle instead of waiting for a full rewrite.
