IMO, the main connection between all of these is that humans are really bad at estimating our own skill. And even if we can estimate our own skill, we would need to compare it to a programmer with the same number of hours, rather than to all programmers. (E.g. a programmer doesn't need to understand templates or multithreading in their first week.)
