> if you do a quick and dirty code for a feature that never gets used (or dropped). Is that technical debt?

Yes, code that is not being used should be deleted as soon as possible. Even if it was the cleanest code ever written - delete it.

It is adding massive mental overhead for future work, especially as a new developer on the project - how do I know its not being used?
