Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools (Visual Studio, Windows command prompt, PowerShell) for setup and environment configuration. There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, such as using Bash or cross-platform editors. The order and presence of Windows-specific instructions, without Linux equivalents, may hinder non-Windows developers.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent instructions for setting environment variables on Linux (e.g., export ConnectionString=...) and macOS.
  • Include examples using cross-platform editors or .NET CLI (e.g., dotnet new console) instead of only Visual Studio.
  • Present setup instructions for both Windows and Linux/macOS, or use tabbed sections to separate platform-specific steps.
  • Reference cross-platform terminal commands (e.g., Bash) alongside Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell.
  • Clarify that the .NET SDK and Azure App Configuration are cross-platform, and provide links or notes for non-Windows users.
