Ask HN: Application Security vs. Software Development

Which is more recession proof?

I've done software development for about 5 years, and application security for 5 years (professionally).

When I was a sole developer - i never had issues with employment - there always seemed to be 10:1 jobs (10 jobs to every qualified candidate).

I recently took a application security role - about 1.5 years ago, well I find out Friday I'm laid off.

I'm wondering which of appsec vs software dev is more recession / covid secure?

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
