Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

visual_studio_only
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by centering the workflow around Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE), mentioning Windows tools and patterns before Linux/macOS equivalents, and providing detailed instructions for Windows command prompt and PowerShell before bash. There is no mention of cross-platform editors like VS Code or CLI-based workflows, and the requirement for Visual Studio excludes native Linux development environments.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and running Azure Functions using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
  • Present environment variable setting commands for Linux/macOS before or alongside Windows commands, rather than always listing Windows first.
  • Include explicit guidance for Linux users regarding installation and use of required tools (e.g., .NET SDK, Azure Functions Core Tools) outside of Visual Studio.
  • Clarify that Visual Studio is not required and provide alternative steps for users on Linux or macOS.
  • Ensure screenshots and workflow descriptions are not exclusively tied to Visual Studio or Windows UI elements.
