What's a good simple calculator for programmers? Easy entry/conversion of hex and binary but simple arithmetic with possible shifts. I don't need to do trigonometry.

HP produced the HP-16C for programmers a long time ago:

Swiss Micro seems to be producing clones:

I have one, bought it new many decades ago. If the SwissMicro clones have as good keys as the old HP originals then I wouldn't hesitate buying one of those if you're interested in a 16C.

I know a guy who keeps one of these on his desk today. Thing must be 20+ years old. He claims it is the only calculator he can use now.

SwissMicros make really good devices if you’re willing to pay the price. I carry my HP42 clone everywhere.

They make a clone of the programmer HP-16c that is pretty nice. Everything is open source too, so there’s modding potential if you are into that kind of thing.
