I also assume 100% LLM (Claude). The author[1] (who now works for OpenAI) has a degree in philosophy and only has minor technical experience (a bit of web progamming years ago). The rest is "product manager". Why didn't they say they used Claude? In 2026, this feels like lying by omission.
Regardless, the project looks insanely cool. I had no idea that you can buy a stitching machine that you can program. It sounds a bit like a CNC machine for cloth! I guess this is how a lot of cool embroided clothes are made that you see on Etsy.
