Not a software person but I am in a senior person in a specialized field. No, I don't get offended. Their ideas are often fatally flawed or "not even wrong" (idiom that means the idea approaches the nonsensical). Or their ideas are great and have already been implemented in contexts which make sense. I find my field very interesting and fun to talk about, so I don't mind it at all. Thoughtful people seem pleased if you give them consideration and talk through what conditions would need to exist to make their idea viable.
