In many languages, there's just one word for history and story. Which is fair enough if it's narrative, but ignores all tge analytical side, though the language came before history was an academic discipline as we know it today. (And whatever my lecturers said, I think there's a need for narrative history, because how can you analyse any of it unless you know what events happened?)
But now I have to go and be an IT person and take a techy certification exam. Frankly, I'd rather write a good history essay just now. It's about the same level of stress, but history is more interesting than the techy stuff. It doesn't matter if I can't remember which log file in the config has precedence, because in real life, we'd probably check both just in case.
