Yes a $1 billion one person company is possible some day.
But why?
It will be far, far easier if you have a bunch of great people involved instead of just one, and likely to scale far further.
There is no future where the right people will not be able to add massive value.

It’s a big question: should you still learn to code?
This @nytimes.com article focuses on code boot camps, which are clearly past their heyday.
IMO coding - and perhaps more important co-related competences - will remain highly valuable.
