I think I read somewhere that the best guideline is to always capitalize only the first letter of an acronym (i.e., if you have a user TTL where TTL is some random acronym in your project, then it’s best to write userTtl).
This makes sense, since it solves some problems. For example, say you want a user id counter. Readability of userIDCounter is worse than userIdCounter. For a longer acronym, it gets even worse.
