+I recently made my first `dbt-core` open-source contribution! This contribution adds `unmodified` and `old` [state selection](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/node-selection/methods#the-state-method) methods to the dbt CLI. The main motivation is to make it easy to exclude late-binding views from our dbt job's DAG, reducing the runtime overhead. You can see some details that precipitated this contribution [here](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/7564). 
+
+You can watch a short demo on the contribution below:

+
+To take it for a spin yourself, you might run a command that excludes the intersection of views and unchanged models from the DAG:
+
+```bash
+dbt run -s config.materialized:view,state:unmodified --state ./path/to/artifats
+```
+
+If you end up using this feature extension, I'd love to hear from you! When I worked on this, I did it entirely inspired by the late-binding view use-case, but I'd be curious to hear how you put it to use in your dbt jobs. As always, reach out to me via tyler [at] tylerrouze.com or comment below!
