Why do you believe that Ada programmers do not also do that?
I don't know Ada, but if I were to sit down to write an Ada
program I would also write it as I was thinking, and would
simply add and modify types and interfaces as needed. I expect
I would also compile frequently and let the compiler tell me
where I missed a spot and then just go and fix it up. In fact,
it seems to me that Ada is more conducive to think-and-type
than C is, because the compiler is better at telling you when
you've gotten something wrong.
