A couple of things:

1. Bootstrapped business are very good at cash management because they usually don't have a lot of cash.

2. Better to never be hired than hired for three weeks and laid off.

3. Software development is still an awesome industry to be in and there are still far too few developers than there are jobs at all levels.

4. Look for companies that have customers that continue to buy in a downturn if you fear recession. Companies that serve government, healthcare and energy industries tend to be safe, but they usually pay less than other industries.
