or is it ? some code is made to be long-lasting (and that's the one we "see" because of course it lasted long already) but the large majority is short-term projects which are only relevant for a few months / years and will never get reused afterwards.

Hah, yeah, I think we haven't a terminology difference here. I wouldn't even term "bad" code in short-lived projects to be "tech debt" in the first place. I definitely agree you about the near irrelevance of tech debt in short lived projects. the large majority is short-term projects which Is this really true? Really depends on where you work, I guess. It hasn't generally been my experience. But it really depends on if you're working at e.g. an agency vs. working on long lived in house projects.
