Lived experience is when you encounter something and you live through that experience.

Learned experience is when you read about an encounter someone else lived through and they explain condensed points of emphasis.

The social media plugin and reporting system for the SaaS I'm working on is an idiotic, over-engineered monstrosity. But, after trial and error, I've mastered it from a what-goes-where-standpoint.

If I were to document the entire thing from my vantage point, it'd take me a week, and even if I did it, it'd take another dev about a week just to wrap their head around it to implement a new feature AFTER reading what I wrote. Or, I could do it between standup and lunch provided I had no distractions.
