An acronym for Time and Experience = Knowledge. A TEK is a guide created by someone who put in the time to figure out how to do something and documented it online for others (who could then follow the guide and try to reproduce the results). A TEK is in contrast to knowledge passed down in schools or textbooks for example. A TEK is a different type of knowledge born out of personal experimentation and online research.
