AGENTIC CODING TOOLS SHOULD GIVE MORE CONTROL OVER MESSAGE QUEUEING
Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter
Claude Code uses boundary-aware queuing, where new messages are inserted at natural break points, which changes the model's course of action smoothly without stopping ongoing generation. OpenAI Codex uses post-turn queuing, where user messages wait until the current action finishes completely before they are handled. Agentic tools should implement both types of queuing and let users choose which to use. Having that option would make a difference in agentic workflows where users are running three to four agents in parallel.
