You talk about yourself like there's this hard barrier, like you've been barred from the "modern" web industry. But I'm going to guess you have a ton of experience with the web platform, and that's still relevant. If a new-grad can get up to speed on the currently-popular languages and frameworks, you should have no trouble doing so with all your added context. If it's a matter of not knowing where to start, I'd say start by looking at what the job listings are asking for. And then beyond that, HN is a good source for keeping a general "pulse" on the industry; that's the main reason I'm on here. Nothing's standing in your way, you just need to seek out and learn about the current landscape. You're in a perfectly fine position to do so.
