Ask HN: How can I teach others to code?

So I am self-taught. I don't work as a professional dev, but I am at a point where I can more or less create a working prototype and deploy. And now I am trying to get my friends to that point. I have guided them for the past few months and they are at that stage where you know the basics but have a hard time understanding how you can put everything together to develop your project. I did try building a project with them and show how things are done, but I am not that good at doing this and it turned out to be just me doing all the coding with explanations that went a bit over their heads and no one asking any doubts when it became confusing.
