Why this subagent

When you want the real recommendation for a topic, HN comments beat any listicle, but they are scattered across years of threads. This picker searches those threads for you.

It gathers the books, tools, and courses people actually upvote and ranks them by how often the community brings them up. You get a short, honest list with a line on why each one keeps surfacing, sourced straight from HN.
