Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the instructions for generating GUIDs (recommending PowerShell's 'new-guid' command first) and in scripting examples (PowerShell script is presented before cURL). Windows/PowerShell tools and patterns are mentioned or shown before their Linux/Unix equivalents, and there is no explicit mention of Linux-native methods for certain tasks.
Recommendations
  • When instructing users to generate a GUID, provide both PowerShell (Windows) and Linux/macOS (e.g., 'uuidgen' command) options side by side.
  • Present scripting examples (PowerShell and cURL) in parallel or clarify that cURL is cross-platform and may be preferred on Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid listing Windows/PowerShell tools or commands before cross-platform or Linux-native equivalents; instead, present them together or in a platform-neutral order.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS, and provide any necessary command-line alternatives.
  • Consider including bash or shell script examples for common automation tasks, not just PowerShell.
