I'm a software engineer and naturally spend a lot of my time at the computer writing code, plus quite a bit of non-code writing (emails, reviews, ...). Since RSI is something of an occupational hazard, mechanical keyboards are for me mainly about preventative ergonomics and comfort. Though, writing custom code within QMK keymap has interesting productive possibilities... I've been having fun with that.

Day to day, I switch between working on a Dactyl Ergodox and a Moonlander. Both are fantastic. I strongly recommend to consider split, columnar keyboards with QMK firmware—here is a quick tour of features of why I think these keyboards are so great.
