Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically Microsoft Dev Box and Visual Studio on Windows. All example commands for generating solution caches use PowerShell and Windows-specific tooling (devenv.exe), with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. The guidance assumes the use of Windows-based images and tools, and does not provide instructions or examples for Linux-based dev boxes or Visual Studio Code scenarios.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux-based dev box images, including how to precache solutions using cross-platform tools (e.g., dotnet CLI for .NET projects).
- Include bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell commands, especially for steps like cloning repositories and running build/cache generation.
- Clarify whether Visual Studio Code or other cross-platform IDEs can benefit from similar caching, and provide relevant instructions if possible.
- Explicitly state platform limitations or requirements (e.g., that Visual Studio solution cache generation is only available on Windows), and suggest Linux alternatives where applicable.
- Consider reordering sections to mention cross-platform options before or alongside Windows-specific instructions to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
