Claim
Mikhail Parakin (CTO Shopify, formerly Microsoft, I am assuming this is about Microsoft):
Correction

The post misspells Shopify’s CTO’s surname: it is Mikhail **Parakhin**, not “Parakin.”

Full reasoning

Shopify’s own announcement about appointing its Chief Technology Officer spells his name Mikhail Parakhin. That directly contradicts the post’s text, which identifies him as “Mikhail Parakin.”

While this may be an innocent typo, it is still a factual inaccuracy in the identification of a real person.
