There is a good note for VirtualBox users, posted as comment by user Ninjaxor:

For Vagrant/ virtual box users, there's a bug where if the host clock and guest clock are out of sync, it borks rails' reloader. https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/16678

The file Vagrantfile you find in a directory like this: .../ruby/gems/sass-3.4.22/vendor/listen

There you have to add this:

# Sync time every 5 seconds so code reloads properly
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |v|
  v.customize ["guestproperty", "set", :id, "--timesync-threshold", 5000]
end
