Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing REST API examples exclusively in PowerShell, referencing PowerShell cmdlets throughout, and omitting equivalent Linux/bash/cURL examples. Windows tools and scripting patterns (PowerShell, Write-Host, Get-Date) are used without mention of cross-platform alternatives, and Windows-centric approaches are presented before or instead of Linux-friendly options.
Recommendations:
  • For REST API sections, provide bash/cURL examples alongside or instead of PowerShell scripts to support Linux and macOS users.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell examples are for Windows and provide equivalent bash or Python scripts for Linux environments.
  • Where PowerShell cmdlets are referenced (e.g., Get-AzDataFactoryV2PipelineRun), note cross-platform alternatives or clarify their platform compatibility.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific scripting idioms (e.g., Write-Host, Start-Sleep) without Linux equivalents; provide corresponding bash commands (e.g., echo, sleep).
  • Consider reordering or parallelizing examples so that Linux-compatible approaches (bash, Python, cURL) are presented alongside Windows/PowerShell, not only after or instead of them.
