The C# Interactive window in VS is not the best interactive C# experience, LINQPad still has the honor, I believe, but it is a quick and convenient option for trying out a few lines of code.

I always feel a sense of satisfaction when I move a piece of complexity from outside an object to inside an object. It doesn't need to be a large amount of code, I've learned. Every little step helps in the long run.
If I could go back 20 years and give myself some programming tips, one of those tips would certainly be this: You don't move code into an abstraction to reuse the code, you move code into an abstraction to use the code.

Finally! I've used binary literals in real code. This feature, and the digits separator have been good additions to the C# language.
public static byte[] BreakIntoTwos(byte value)
{
var result = new byte[4];
result[0] = (byte)((value & 0b1100_0000) >> 6);
result[1] = (byte)((value & 0b0011_0000) >> 4);
result[2] = (byte)((value & 0b0000_1100) >> 2);
result[3] = (byte) (value & 0b0000_0011);
return result;
}
