No it wasn't.  He invented it to survive global warming.

It would be most ironic if any temp-2-hire sysadmin at your firm
could do what [global warming] could not.

Design is a verb, implying intent.  And sometimes what we intend to
happen is not what really happens.  Besides that, a temp has different
angles of attack than global warming.  You could just as easily say,
"Of course the temp can take out the Internet!  It was designed to
withstand global warming, not temps!"
