Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
The Programmer slowly takes a bite of his croissant, never taking his eyes off the Startup Guy. The Startup Guy is showing something on his smartphone, maybe a growth chart.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Programmer: A man, 30-35 years old, wearing glasses, with a short beard. Dressed in a hoodie and jeans. Sitting at a table with a laptop.
- Startup Guy: A young man, 25-28 years old, with a trendy haircut, dressed in a designer t-shirt and jeans. Constantly looking at his smartphone.
