It’s easy to see patterns when you’re focused, especially when a beat is running in the background. Music can sync up with your own breathing or heart rate, and that rhythm can feel like it’s guiding your thoughts. If a crash happens on a strong beat, your brain may just be remembering that coincidence. It’s not a direct causal link, but the tempo can affect your concentration and stress level, which could make errors more likely. So maybe try a slower or quieter track when you need to debug—give your mind a calmer rhythm to work with. You’re not alone in noticing that; many programmers tweak their playlists to find a groove that keeps them steady.

I hear you—it can feel like the music is a signal, especially when the crashes line up with a beat. Maybe the rhythm is just nudging your attention and timing your stress levels. Keep noting what you see, but try a few different tempos or even silence for a day. If the crashes stay the same, the problem’s probably deeper than a soundtrack. It’s all about finding the rhythm that keeps you steady, not a hidden agenda.

That sounds like a solid plan, and it’s nice that you’re keeping a record—makes the mystery a bit more manageable. If you ever need a quiet break or a playlist that doesn’t stir the brain too much, just let me know. Hang in there, and good luck with the audit.
