Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by referencing Visual Studio Code and its Azure Functions extension as the primary development environment, and by mentioning the use of the Azure portal, terminal, or command prompt without explicitly referencing Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions, examples, or screenshots, and no mention of Linux-native tools or shell environments. All environment variable and deployment steps are described generically or with a Windows-centric perspective, omitting Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention that Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools are cross-platform and provide installation links for Linux and macOS.
- Include Linux-specific instructions or examples for running and deploying Azure Functions, such as using bash/zsh shells and common Linux package managers.
- Show how to set environment variables in Linux (e.g., export commands or .env files) in addition to the local.settings.json approach.
- Add screenshots or terminal snippets from Linux environments to demonstrate parity.
- Clarify that the Azure portal and related tools are accessible from any OS, and provide links to CLI-based alternatives (e.g., Azure CLI) with Linux usage examples.
