I found this handy reference a while ago. But yeah, we are kinda screwed.
So just about the only thing everyone agrees on is x is not up ๐ฅฒ
YET
Good news, X is now down.
At least they haven't invented X up (yet)
You'll never believe my startup idea

There's only one quadrant of this that should be acceptable to anyone! Positive X, positive Y!
Nope, the bottom right quadrant is the acceptable one. Z is up and follows the right-hand rule. I will die on this hill.
you'll get bitten during projection when depth is converted to 2D screen coordinates, which is X and Y. Better do it right from the start.
Minecraft ruined me as a kid. I'm still mad that so many softwares use Z as up. I'm still not happy about it.
Y up feels much more comfortable for me.
Y up is also the standard in 2D graphs, so it makes sense that Z is depth.
