Developer queues Claude Code and Codex tasks in git to reduce AI-agent overload
Overview
A developer says running many concurrent Claude Code or Codex threads in one terminal left them mentally exhausted, which they call AI brain fry.
They moved their work into a markdown task queue kept in git. An agent works through tagged tickets and runs tests but does not deploy. A script lists the items that need the author's decision, and the author reviews those one at a time on a Claude artifact page.
The report comes from a Hacker News post with more than 150 points. It describes the author's own workflow and reports no measured results.
