With apologies to Warren G. Bennis:

The UI/UX department of the future will have only two employees, a hipster and a dog. The hipster will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to bite the hipster if they change the UI/UX.

I think this reads better if the dog's job is "to bite the hipster if they change the UI/UX", but yes.

Closer to Bennis's original: "The dog will be there to keep the hipster from touching the UI/UX".
