Claude Code's most-hated flaw: message queuing, 244 issues and still broken after months; Codex does it right
sytelus · x · 2026-09-25
A developer calls out Claude Code's worst UX gap: you can't queue a new message as the next task without touching the current one. It has racked up 244 issues, with a new one filed every 4 days on average, and has been fixed, broken, and re-fixed for months — still broken today. OpenAI's Codex handles this well: clean UX, the ability to convert queued messages into a steer, and independent sequential execution instead of lumping tasks together. The author asks: when AI takes over development, who watches for this kind of thing?
