To rinse or not to rinse

Do you put dishes with remnants of food still on it, or do a quick rinse with warm water?

I typically rinse most debris off first

I totally over think this. If I have a lot of dishes, I'll rinse and select shorter cycles. If not, I'll skip rinsing and let the dishwasher run longer and do the work for me.
