"Ship first, design later" is completely orthogonal to what language one's using. Using a language that forces one to write int or str before the variables isn't preventing anyone to write software without having a design. It's not even part of the "static vs dynamic" argument; one can rush things in Java or in C++ just as easily. The only difference is that Java might allow doing it slightly faster.
