Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation exhibits mild Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and deployment patterns, such as 'Node.js Cloud Service using Windows PowerShell', and by suggesting Windows-centric workflows (e.g., 'command prompt') and editors (Visual Studio Code, which is cross-platform but often associated with Windows). Windows tools are mentioned before any Linux equivalents, and there is no explicit mention of Linux-specific instructions or terminal usage, nor are Linux shell examples provided. However, most code and commands (npm, node, az CLI) are cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux and macOS environments, such as using 'terminal' or 'shell' instead of only 'command prompt'.
  • Replace or supplement references to 'Windows PowerShell' with cross-platform alternatives (e.g., Bash, zsh, or generic shell).
  • Clarify that all commands (npm, node, az CLI) work on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
  • Provide links to Linux/macOS-specific guides for Node.js application deployment and Azure CLI installation.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting and resource cleanup steps by mentioning Linux/macOS navigation and command-line usage.
