Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
⚠️
powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias by listing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) prominently, often before cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is always listed first for C#, and PowerShell is highlighted as an HTTP test tool before more universal tools like curl. While the documentation does mention Linux and macOS support and includes cross-platform tools (VS Code, Core Tools, curl), Windows tools and patterns are often given priority or more detailed coverage.
Recommendations:
- When listing development environments, avoid always listing Visual Studio (Windows-only) first. Consider grouping cross-platform tools (VS Code, Core Tools) before Windows-only tools, or clearly marking platform exclusivity.
- In tables and lists, alternate the order of tools or use alphabetical order to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tools.
- For HTTP test tools, list curl (ubiquitous on Linux/macOS) before PowerShell, or group tools by platform compatibility.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, also mention Bash or other Linux-native shells for parity.
- Explicitly call out Linux/macOS-specific workflows or tips where relevant, not just in passing.
- Ensure that all example commands and workflows are shown for both Windows and Linux (e.g., both PowerShell and Bash command lines where appropriate).
