Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides Azure CLI examples exclusively in Bash, which is cross-platform, but consistently uses Windows-style file paths (e.g., C:\temp\) and references to Windows directories. There are no Linux/macOS path examples, and instructions for creating required files (like XML) assume a Windows environment. This may cause confusion or friction for Linux/macOS users, as they must mentally translate paths and file locations. No PowerShell examples are present, and Windows tools are not mentioned exclusively, but the Windows-centric pathing is a subtle but persistent bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS path examples alongside Windows paths (e.g., /home/user/temp/).
  • Explicitly note that Bash scripts and Azure CLI work on all platforms, and clarify any platform-specific differences.
  • For file creation instructions, offer both Windows and Linux/macOS approaches.
  • Where sample code references file paths, use environment variables or platform-agnostic placeholders.
  • Add a note early in the documentation about path conventions and how to adapt examples for non-Windows systems.
