Why I'm Ditching Cursor and Building My Own (Without Knowing Code)

Maybe this is dumb, maybe this is great, but I wanted a tool to help non-technical builders manage fleets of AI agents building and writing code, without the complexities of traditional dev tools like Cursor. So I'm building my own! It's called Orchestrate, and you can sign up for the waitlist over at orchestrate.build. The first non-technical focused Agentic Development Environment. I hope you can join me on this journey.
