Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation shows some evidence of Windows bias, particularly in the C#/.NET section. For example, when retrieving the app endpoint, the Windows command (using --output table) is presented before the Linux command (using grep). The build and packaging instructions (dotnet publish, MSBuild .zip target) are Windows-centric and do not mention cross-platform compatibility or alternative Linux tools. There is no explicit PowerShell usage, but the overall pattern assumes a Windows development environment for .NET users. In contrast, the Java section uses cross-platform tools (Maven, Azure CLI, IntelliJ) and bash commands, which are platform-neutral.
Recommendations:
  • When presenting command-line instructions, always provide both Windows and Linux/macOS equivalents, or use cross-platform commands where possible.
  • If using Windows-specific tools or patterns (such as MSBuild .zip targets), note their compatibility on Linux/macOS or provide alternative instructions for those platforms.
  • Avoid labeling commands as 'Windows' or 'Linux' unless there is a genuine difference; otherwise, present the most cross-platform option first.
  • Explicitly mention that .NET Core and Azure CLI are cross-platform, and clarify any steps that may differ on Linux/macOS (e.g., file paths, shell syntax).
  • Consider including a short section or note on developing and deploying from Linux/macOS for .NET users, especially for build and packaging steps.
