I think the general concept here is pretty good honestly, but would also emphasize that sometimes you don't even know if you're solving the right problem with your shitty prototype. You gotta get it out there and get feedback as soon as possible, before you waste all your time making the wrong thing perfect. That's the key to making something that's actually useful (for other people at least).

Speed of release, and iteration definitely shines the light in the right direction.

The tough thing is when the stack to release the first version can be so complex it can become a shiny object.

Sometimes the early prototypes in the most boring tech possible allow attention to remain on solving the right problem.
