Hey Gopher, how’s it going?

Lately, I’ve been dedicating my free time to studying Golang, and I must admit it’s been an interesting and challenging journey.

During my learning process, I initially had some “resistance” in understanding what pointers actually are. Coincidentally, while following some blogs and pages about Go, I noticed that many people face the same obstacle — and that’s completely normal.

That’s why I decided to create this space to write a bit about them.

So, what is a pointer?

A pointer is simply a variable whose content is a memory address. If you share this pointer elsewhere, we can directly access the address where the data is stored, and from there, manipulate that memory space in some way.

Hey guys!

In this short post, we will set up a simple environment to create VMs on macOS with Apple chips (M1/M2/M3 or newer) using Vagrant.

1. Introduction

What is Vagrant?

Vagrant is a tool that allows us to create and manage virtual machines easily and effectively. With it, we can create VMs from a configuration file called Vagrantfile, enabling us to share machine configurations easier, maintaining the consistency in our environments. This software has its main virtualization providers under the hood, such as VirtualBox, VMware, QEMU, Parallels, Docker, Hyper-V and others.

Main Features

• Consistent and reproducible environments: Through the Vagrantfile configuration file, we can use the same environment for all developers involved in a project, for example.
