Hey! Former CIO here, late 40s. Just made a massive career change (starting a business with an important on-line component).
Web development / design has changes a lot over the years, but I guess the good news is that if you did enjoy the coding, there is plenty of development to do. QA goes hand-in-hand so that's an option. Maybe you need to come up to speed on the latest language, but the fundamentals don't change that much, really.
For tech writing, if you write well, there is definitely a market because most tech people don't have great writing skills. I'm in Europe, so the market may be different, but can you find some people who do what you like to do and just buy them a coffee and talk (someone in QA, someone in tech writing) to get a sense of what's hot and what's not in your area?
A useful book for career change is Laura Berman Fortgang's Now What? book. She has a lot of useful advice for someone in your position.
