I would just add one thing here, aside from echoing the comments on the great writing. Everyone needs to focus on saving when they have a job for uncertain times. I've found it incredibly helpful in the last year with some savings in the bank, to ward off the uncertainty and chaos around not having a job, and taking it a bit easy so to say.

Saving at least 20% or so of every paycheck is good standard advice for rainy days. But, also not to keep any debt.

Lastly, it's not that terrifying these days to not have employment in the software industry. Things will turn around as long as you work on developing your skills. Staying positive is good advice for the short and long-term. Because everything will work out, and we usually stress a lot more than we really should.
