Yep, there are usually a lot of "piggybacking" (This comment is not mean spirited, just stating a fact) in HN. I made a similar comment a while back [1]

You do know that it's the same person, right? They're both links to articles on her website. There is no "piggybacking", this is literally her writing about making these things.
No, "piggybacking" refers to the posting of related material on HN after the original material becomes popular. The posting on HN is the piggybacking, not the writing of the material itself.
