Some of us actually think by programming. In that sense, a REPL or notebook is probably a better medium, but the thinking is going on concurrently with prototyping.
It isn’t so much like “we are solving the problem at the same time we are writing the code for the solution” but more like “we are writing (disposable) code to help us solve the problem.”
