Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, notably in the Java section where command examples are provided for Bash, PowerShell, and Cmd, with Windows shells (PowerShell, Cmd) shown after Bash but still included. The Maven archetype flow references Windows-style paths (e.g., backslashes in file paths) and mentions setting JAVA_HOME, which is more commonly a friction point for Windows users. There is no explicit Linux/macOS example for setting environment variables or handling file paths. However, most other sections use cross-platform commands (func, az CLI) and do not restrict instructions to Windows tools. Linux tools like jq are mentioned in prerequisites, and Bash examples are present. The severity of bias is moderate, as Linux/macOS users can complete all tasks but may encounter minor friction or lack of parity in examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples for environment variable setup (e.g., export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk).
  • Use forward slashes in file paths or clarify that both Windows and Linux/macOS paths are supported.
  • Ensure all command examples are shown for Bash/zsh and PowerShell/Cmd equally, or default to Bash first.
  • Add notes or callouts for platform-specific differences, such as handling secrets or file permissions.
  • Where possible, avoid Windows-centric terminology or ordering (e.g., mention Bash before PowerShell/Cmd).
