I would be willing to bet that this isn't true for trained classical musicians. I've been able to very accurately count seconds for 30+ years now and I don't seem to be getting any worse at it with age, at least not yet.

I’ve been a musician for 20 years and I still rush a beat if I’m not careful.

You must be a drummer

Drummers usually have better time-feel that other musicians...

Hacker News never fails to miss the joke

I will be honest: I'm starting to dread the joke threads appearing on HN. I've noticed an uptick of these reddit-esque joke threads in the past few months and I've been puzzled why since I don't remember this phenomenon happening before.

Yeah, I’m guilty as charged here. I spend a lot time on both sites these days and they bleed into each other for me.

Similar for me, I have a good feel of what a second is and counting a minute I'd be around a second off. Not a musician though, programmer.
