I guess it means "nailed it". Like nailing smn with pneumatic nailer is also not a good thing but in the context it is used like an affirmative word. Almost like sharks clapping each other for eating that seal. From google:

“She ate", “he ate”, or “they ate” is a slang phrase used to express admiration and praise for someone who has done a great job at something.

What does Ate mean?​

She/he/they ate is a slang term often used in the context of fashion, music, or performance, but can be used in a variety of other contexts as well. The phrase "she ate" means doing it with style. When someone “eats” it means they’ve done something impressively.

"You buy them books, send them to school, and what do they do? Chew on the covers!" What does that even mean?

Just guessing, you fell asleep on the books but never even opened them?
