Always be learning something new and try to anticipate what specific skills will be in demand a year or two from now. My favorite thing about this profession is that you have to be learning new things constantly.

Keep some contacts in the non-startup world. When the shit hits the fan people are still going to need boring-ass ecommerce and the like.

I don't think this will happen soon, maybe you will have to learn new technologies, but demand for software developers should still be high in the near future. Let's be honest, everything is being automated and moved to the internet and there is still a lot to do, I would even say we're just at the beginning of the path.
