Two things that I can say with certainty I've heard literally every single one of the ~25 years I've been in this game:

1. "We're in a bubble!, it's only a matter of time before it all comes down" 2. "The market is hot for developers right now!"

I've been through hiring sprees and layoffs, I've had startups succeed and fail, and I don't think my experiences are exceptional in any way. Things wax and wane, trends come and go. Keep a bit of savings, live within your means, and do good work and things will most likely work out well for you in the long run.
