Not all legacy code is technical debt.
---
Technical debt is an overused term with people often referring to any legacy code, outdated dependencies or bugs as technical debt.
Technical debt specifically refers to the future cost when a short-term solution is selected over a more flexible or efficient one.
For example, hard-coding something for now and making it dynamic later.
It's not any code the current Developers didn't write or no longer want to support.
