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.
What? This link was submitted by someone who found the article, liked it, and posted it here in the assumption others would like it too. That's literally the entire model of how HN works, that's not "piggybacking", that's exactly what HN wants you to do for it to serve the interesting articles on the web to its user base.
