Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in the local development setup instructions. Windows/PowerShell commands are presented first, and the use of 'py' for venv creation and '.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1' for activation are Windows-specific, with Linux alternatives mentioned secondarily. The phrase 'Open a Windows PowerShell or any Linux shell as you prefer' also places Windows first. However, most of the content, including Python code and Azure Functions usage, is cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in tabs, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Use neutral language such as 'Open a terminal (Windows PowerShell or Linux shell)' to avoid prioritizing Windows.
  • For commands, provide both Windows and Linux/macOS versions equally, and consider using cross-platform commands where possible.
  • Add explicit notes or sections for macOS users if relevant.
  • Where file paths are shown (e.g., <ProjectRoot>\HttpTriggerAsync\__init__.py), clarify that path separators differ on Linux/macOS (use /).
