A teammate and I have created a small tool to modify the titles of the trello card in a trello board .
Technical description
It works by applying a function to the existing title (because we wanted to remove a prefix from the existing title).
The modification is done, not through the API, but simulating user interaction:
Click to edit the card
Input the new title
Save
The full code is available here
Conclusion
This has been a great example of working with legacy code, as the tools to work with the existing product are not the ones you would like to have and an imaginative solution provides a way out of the tar pit.
Disclaimer about AI/GenAI
As of 2026-05-06, the text in these articles and blog entries has been written without AI/GenAI, except I sometimes use a spellchecker to fix errors. Think Word's spellchecker, not ChatGPT.
Notes, as of today (2026-05-06):
No code snippet has been automatically generated, nor vibe-coded, nor generated and reviewed.
I don’t have any article with AI contribution.
For future entries:
I may have used GenAI for the code in the repo. The code I exemplify/copy in the article will always be reviewed and tested, not vibe-coded. I will specify it in each snippet or at the top/bottom of the article.
I normally don't use it for the text contents, although if I have used it for the article text, it would be indicated as such.
Any entry before 2026-05-06 does not contain any AI/GenAI.
