Feel good about counting in base 2 at this point, but curious what the 0b confers when binaries are written out.

That is used to express the value is a binary literal. You can use 0b or 0B. That means you could write something like this:
four = 0b100print fourAnd get 4 in the console

‘0b’ is used to tell the computer that the number you typed is a base-2 number not a base-10 number.
