This isn't really 2001 all over again except for crypto companies that want to centralize money on a decentralized platform and then commit fraud. Or the companies that trusted those "trust me, I'll hold the wallet" companies. Startups see the effects of the economy first because the typical path is to raise seed rounds until you are profitable. Sometimes profitable never happens or the ramp is too long and in a recession the funding may not be there for the next seed round which means they can't expand and maybe they can't make payroll. If you look outside the world of startups there are tons of employers that need software people. You aren't going to see crazy comp or equity but you can make a career out of stable job, stable high pay (when compared to the rest of humans on the planet) and not being worked to burnout.
