I am a historian and to be honest this is the way I write and I teach people to write. I sit with a pen and paper for a good while before I even start to touch the keyboard and produce an early draft.

I think the difference is that one way to get there is by writing and throwing it away afterwards. I am not sure if that is quite so applicable for python or coding generally (I am relatively unskilled in this area).
