Them is fine.

It's short for "Have them [Node bozos improved it], though?"

Or, equally likely it, refers to deno and bun ("deno and bun has really made Node focus and improve", "Have them (deno and bun) really made Node focus and improve, though?")

Your expanded version is also incorrect.

		It's a common idiom used in slang and "urban" dialects for decades... (Also the expansion was meant as a joke in case it went woooosh - I don't mind-read to know what the OP meant)

That is nonstandard English, at best. It's found in some uncommon dialects.

Without the expansion I don't know of any native English speaker who would say it.
