+title: Naming Conventions
+---
+
+#### 1. Prefer SOV function names
+
+Prefer SOV Subject Object Verb naming for functions.
+
+This makes it very easy to find the functions you want with autocomplete and maintain a consistent naming convention
+throughout the codebase.
+
+e.g.
+
+* `renderer_frame_begin`
+* `engine_tick_begin`
+* `texture_data_load`
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Long-running systems
+
+systems that run for the lifetime of the application or for a very long time should have:
+
+* `bool system_init(system_state* state)` a `init` function
+* `void system_shutdown(system_state* state)` and a `shutdown` function
+
+---
+
+#### 3. TODO
