Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific commands (setx, PowerShell) are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents, and Windows tools/patterns (such as setx and PowerShell environment variable syntax) are described in detail. Linux/macOS instructions are present but are listed after Windows instructions and use less standard shell syntax (e.g., 'export AZURE_CLIENT_ID =' with spaces). The overall flow and examples prioritize Windows users, with Linux parity as an afterthought.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel tabs, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Use standard shell syntax for Linux/macOS (e.g., export VAR="value" without spaces around the equals sign).
  • Provide more detailed Linux/macOS instructions, including how to persist environment variables (e.g., updating ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc).
  • Avoid Windows-centric tools like setx unless absolutely necessary, and always provide equivalent Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for all steps, and highlight any OS-specific caveats.
  • Consider using cross-platform tools (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI) as primary examples, and only mention OS-specific tools when required.
