Yeah, I try to align tech debt cleanup with 'touch points', since that's generally an indicator that the code needs work done on it anyway.
It's sometimes controversial to say "We should not prioritize tech debt" but I feel pretty strongly that it's true. We aren't paid to write beautiful code, we're paid to write code that gets the job done. If code is getting the job done, even if it's fragile, our job is done. Only if that code is impeding new work should we prioritize it.
