Depending on where you are you need different plans.

When you are in an urban setting / high density population center in eastern or central Europe ATM, do not prepare to shelter in place, better plan out your escape: where to, with whom, via which route and most important when is your trigger moment? You need to get out such that you can reach your destination before the rest of the population also decided to move. Otherwise highways are blocked, gas stations overrun and you are stuck. You need a community to survive. Talk to relatives / friends now. Have a bag packed, the gas tank full to leave with the hour and a diversity of cash (swiss franc, Norwegian or Czech crown, etc).

In a rural setting, educate your self about sustainable agriculture practice. Fertilizers are a thing of the past now. Move away from mono cultural cash crop. Look for poly cultures that can feed you and your community. Be prepared that refugees from cities will come in masses.

In any case, use the remaining time to learn valuable skills. Get healthy and fit. Learn to cook. Do a first-aid course. Especially as a software dev, learn Handy work so you can be of tangible help in your community. Learn self-defense (to which extreme you wanna take it, is up to you).
