Software developers are not physicists. Software developers aren't even mathematicians, although many are enamoured with related concepts.
To grasp the difference between the hard academic sciences and software development community, consider the differences between a telephone company and an astronomical observatory with a large telescope on a mountain top.
Many people here might be amateur enthusiasts, mixed with a handful of professional academic participants. Any award winning physicists hanging out here would be surprising.
That said, feel free to distinguish yourself by outshining everyone else. It would be a welcome addition.
