The build fast and test model was nonsense to begin with.

Ultimately it’s a way of saying “I have no vision so I just want to quickly throw a bunch of shit on the wall and see what sticks”.

How is it nonsense? Vision doesn't matter - customer feedback matters.

You start off with a hypothesis (X will solve Y's problem by doing ...), you build a prototype, and then you start testing with multiple Ys. Based on that feedback, you then tweak your initial hypothesis or you scrap it and pivot.

The whole point of engineering is to build tools that solve a specific class of problems for the buyer.

this is totally just the revenge of scrum, and i love it. hyperscrum
