Question about turning on the car (SI)

When you guys turn on the car, obviously you first floor the clutch then turn it on. After that do you just dump it or let it off slowly. I usually dump the clutch when turning the car on but i felt some sort of vibration today when i was dumping it slowly.

I also did the 3rd gear test and the car was able to move with the clutch in friction point.

When i turn off my car i always leave it in gear because if you dont there is nothing holding it in place other then e-brake. You can still manually push your car w/ just e-brake so thats not good. But neways, my answer is no i dont dump the clutch unless im warming the engine up first then ill pull gear into neutral and lightly let out clutch
