Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation generally maintains good cross-platform parity, primarily using Azure CLI for setup and configuration, which is cross-platform. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the dev environment setup section: Visual Studio for Windows is presented first and in more detail, while Visual Studio for Mac is noted as lacking integration. PowerShell is also mentioned as an option for authentication, but Linux-specific shells or tools (e.g., Bash, zsh) are not mentioned. There are no explicit Linux examples or screenshots, and the documentation does not highlight Linux-native development environments or workflows.
Recommendations:
- Present cross-platform options in parallel or in a non-Windows-first order (e.g., group Visual Studio, VS Code, CLI, and PowerShell together, or rotate the order).
- Include explicit Linux development environment instructions (e.g., using Bash/zsh, common Linux IDEs, or editors like JetBrains Rider or Eclipse).
- Add a note or section confirming that all CLI commands work identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide example terminal commands for Linux/macOS users.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, also mention Bash/zsh as alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
- Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux/macOS environments to reinforce parity.
- Highlight any platform-specific caveats, if any exist, for Linux/macOS users.
