Interview Prompt
Given projects (list of dicts with project_id and budget) and assignments (list of dicts with project_id and employee_id), compute each employee's share. Each project's budget is split equally among its assigned employees. Return a dict mapping employee_id to their total share (a float) across all projects they are on. If a project has no assignees, its budget is not distributed (do not divide by zero).
Summary
Split the money. Some wore two hats.
