Why this subagent
Hacker News rewards whatever is loud today, and half of it is forgotten by next week. The Throwback Machine waits a day, then looks back at yesterday's top stories with fresh search context.
You get a short retrospective tagging each post as aged-well, hype, or too-early, with one line of hindsight. It is a quieter, more honest read of HN that skips the daily noise and keeps what held up.
