Ask HN: Devs laid off in previous downturns: How did you survive?

Plan for the worst, they say. While the tech sector seems more "recession-proof" than most other sectors these days, that conventional wisdom might not hold up if things get bad. So I'm wondering, if any devs here were laid off during the 2001 dot-com bubble or the 2008 housing crisis, if they could share what they did to recover.
