You don't know the difference between "I painted a picture" and "I asked Samantha to paint this picture"?

Are companies allowed to make “Show HN” posts?

How is this different than X company saying we build Y, when they literally paid people to do it for them?

Notice how you said "we" instead of "I". If some CEO posted "Hey, 'I' made this neat tool!" and took credit for the work of the staff that would be a more accurate comparison.
