Thinking about working abs really hard for awhile because frick it why not? Never really “done abs” before. Anybody have any good advice on this?

Just learn how to connect to them and Maintain good form and then you can just do the usual exercises like crunches. Vary your tempo. Ab wheels are good too

Are you actually trying to strengthen your core or you just want a six pack?
Six pack can basically be done with cardio and diet
Plenty of lifts to strengthen your core with out working out abs
Like deadlifts

Ride my bike 150 miles a week, planks, played baseball for 13 years, plus 5 years of lap swimming. Also, late 20's cheat code

Some people say doing abs all the time without doing back exercises will lead to muscle imbalances causing people to have poor posture.
A lot of people who lift don't even do isolated ab workouts and get super strong abs by bracing for other lifts like squat, deadlift, overhead press, and chinups. Suitcase carries are supposedly awesome for building up your core as well.
As for whether your abs are visible that will be determined by your body fat percentage.

Athlean X YouTube videos. Jeff Cavaliere has several great ab workouts posted. Good luck!

Decline sit-ups
Crunches
Chair leg lifts
Ab wheel
Jack-knifes with a plate or medicine ball
Do any two of those to failure for four sets every 48 hours
Eat right
Run, jog, or ride a bike
Enjoy your abs

I throw in 3 sets of core work after every workout.
I probably get enough stimulus from BB compounds but a little extra never hurts.
I just alternate one of these 3
Hanging leg raise: 3xAMRAP
Machine Crunch: 3x15
Russian twist: 3x25 superset ab wheel 3x10
Pro tip: Hanging leg raises are nice after heavy deadlift or squat days to decompress the spine and get a lower back stretch

Lookup the P90x an ripper exercise.

Deadbugs and variations (also great for prep before squats/deads as you prime the trunk)
Loaded carries
All you need.

I come from a track background, everyone had abs. Some it due to body type and low bf, but sprints and jumps combined with deads and squats will do wonders. Sometimes ab exercises were part of warm-up/stretching, but they were rarely included in lifting sessions.
Will add, medicine ball exercises and weighted throws and carries. The throwers all had super strong cores and many had visible abs regardless of bodyweight. Shot and other throws are all about core strength.
