Nothing lasts forever - Not in software development, not in bonsai and not in nature. In my video about 3x thinking I talked about creating: eXplore new ideas, eXpand the ones that seem to be working, then eXtract value from those that are. But then, at the end of the life cycle of a feature, a product or a company, we also have to think about decline, death and decay (hat tip to @SleepyFox for coming up with this concept). In the video, I explain what is meant and I give some examples.
