This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Modern dishwashers don't need you to rinse first
My dishwasher is pretty new and if I don’t rinse things off relatively thoroughly beforehand I’m guaranteed to have stuck on food bits after the dry cycle.
You should watch this lovely video from TechnologyConnections: https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04
Big fan of his channel. Just watched him talk about a retro-aesthetic fridge for an hour a couple days ago.
He's awesome. I hope his dishwasher videos can help you out!
I'm still trying to find the time to commit to what is most likely the most enjoyable hour long video about a refrigerator I will ever see. Looking forward to it!
Put soap in to be used on the pre wash cycle too. I use powder and put some in the dispenser and some on the door right before I close it.
I very rarely have any problems with stuck on food bits save for some really difficult stuff like herbs that were in oil that sat out for a day or two and dried. But then leaving it in for another cycle always finishes the job.
Mine doesn't, although if I do I can run the quick cycle for less than half the energy of the full cycle and still have perfectly clean dishware at the end
