Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation consistently presents PowerShell examples alongside Bash, but PowerShell examples are always listed second and are often more detailed, including Windows-specific scripting constructs (e.g., Set-Content, ConvertFrom-JSON, Select-Object). There is a slight 'Windows-first' bias in the sense that PowerShell is given parity and sometimes more detail, even though the core commands are cross-platform (az CLI). No explicit Windows-only tools are used, and Linux/Bash examples are present for every scenario. However, the PowerShell examples sometimes use constructs that are only available on Windows or require PowerShell Core on Linux, which may not be as familiar to Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Bash examples are as detailed as PowerShell examples, especially for JSON manipulation and file handling.
  • Add explicit notes clarifying that PowerShell examples require PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, or provide alternative Bash-native approaches for complex scripting (e.g., JSON editing).
  • Consider listing Bash examples first to reflect the default shell on most Linux systems.
  • Where PowerShell-specific constructs are used (e.g., ConvertFrom-JSON, Set-Content), provide Bash equivalents using jq or standard shell utilities.
  • Review whether any steps assume Windows file paths or scripting conventions, and clarify cross-platform compatibility.
