Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides cross-platform deployment examples for multiple languages, with most workflows running on Ubuntu (Linux). However, the ASP.NET (not Core) example is Windows-specific, using 'runs-on: windows-latest' and Windows-only tools (NuGet, MSBuild) without mentioning or providing Linux alternatives. Additionally, the ASP.NET section appears before Java, Node.js, and Python, potentially reinforcing a Windows-first impression for .NET developers.
Recommendations
  • Provide a Linux-based example for ASP.NET (if feasible), or explicitly state that classic ASP.NET requires Windows runners due to MSBuild and NuGet dependencies.
  • Add a note clarifying platform requirements for each stack, especially where Windows is mandatory.
  • Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives to Windows tools (e.g., dotnet CLI for .NET Core/5+).
  • Ensure that the order of sections does not imply Windows is the default or preferred platform for all stacks.
  • Consider adding a summary table indicating OS compatibility for each language/framework example.
