ThinkBud + Foundation Models: What I Shipped On-Device, and the Wall That Sent Me Back to the Server

Day 10 of the 30-day iOS series, the build-in-public finale of AI week. I took the on-device Foundation Models stack from Days 8 and 9 and bolted it into ThinkBud, an app I actually ship. Here's the honest field report: the bounded tasks the on-device model nailed for free and offline, the context-window wall a 100K-character textbook import smashed into, and the exact line of code where I gave up and routed to a server. Plus the one decision that's pure Swift — so it gets a real test.

CS Enrollment Dropped 11%. The Industry That Needs Developers Told Students Not to Bother.

Computer science enrollment fell 11.2% in 2026 — the steepest drop of any major. CS dropped from the 4th to 6th most popular degree. 64% of students cite AI as the reason. Meanwhile, the same companies cutting junior roles are complaining about a talent shortage. The Karate Kid problem is real: skip the fundamentals, and nobody can fight when it matters.
