Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation displays a mild Windows bias, particularly in the prerequisites section, where Windows and PowerShell options are listed alongside (and sometimes before) Linux/Bash equivalents. There is also a focus on Windows-specific tooling (e.g., Visual Studio Code extension) and patterns, though Linux examples are present and reasonably complete.
Recommendations
  • List Linux/Bash options before Windows/PowerShell options in the prerequisites to avoid the impression of Windows primacy.
  • Ensure parity in instructions for both Linux and Windows, including explicit mention of Linux-native editors (e.g., nano, vim) alongside Visual Studio Code.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, ensure Bash/Linux shell equivalents are equally described and linked.
  • Consider adding a section or callout for running Terraform on macOS or generic Unix systems, not just 'Linux' or 'Windows'.
  • Where possible, avoid referring to Windows-specific tools (like Visual Studio Code) as the default or only editor; suggest alternatives or clarify cross-platform support.
