Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in the environment variable setup section, where Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell commands are presented before the Linux/macOS equivalent. The use of setx and PowerShell-specific syntax is highlighted, while the Linux/macOS export command is listed last. Additionally, the documentation references Visual Studio Code as a cross-platform editor but does not provide any Linux-specific tooling or terminal instructions elsewhere. All Azure CLI commands are cross-platform, but the explicit ordering and detail for Windows tools and patterns indicate a preference for Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable setup instructions for Linux/macOS before or alongside Windows instructions, rather than after.
  • Use neutral, cross-platform shell commands (e.g., export) as the primary example, with OS-specific alternatives in expandable sections or side notes.
  • Include explicit instructions or screenshots for Linux/macOS terminal usage where relevant, not just Windows.
  • Mention and provide examples for popular Linux editors or terminal environments, not just Visual Studio Code.
  • Ensure all code snippets and setup steps are tested and clearly documented for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments.
