The last "problem" in the first sentence does not sound right. "approach" perhaps?

Given the huge scope of geological problems, it is not reasonable to assume that all problems can be solved using large, monolithic problems.

Other than that, I like the chapter. Is it worht mentioning sometihng like cookiecutter? https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter

From: https://github.com/softwareunderground/52things/issues/77

The first line of code in this article contains an error: cat data.csv | grep ­i ‘sio2’ > silica.csv

this should be (note dash in the grep flag). cat data.csv | grep ­-i ‘sio2’ > silica.csv

I am not sure about CookieCutter. It seems more like a means to get started on projects more easily, rather than specifically for small command-line utilities. Looks useful though!
