I like the idea of job security vs career security. Job security is your boss likes you and you did do most of that new project by yourself, nobody else even really knows how it works. Seems unlikely you would get fired. Career Security is you keep up with the most effective approaches in industry, you learn new languages on the weekend, bias for transparency and training your replacement, going to conferences, expanding your network, interviewing once a month for fun and practice. Usually this approach leads to more job security too but the arena you're playing in is the total market for tech workers rather than one company. It's a slider scale too, you can do more or less stuff but thats kind of the way I think about it. Having an emergency fund is nice too.
