"Byte" sounds like "bite" — so "byte the bullet" is a tech twist on the idiom "bite the bullet," meaning to face something difficult! In computing, a byte is the fundamental unit of digital information, made up of 8 bits. The term was coined by Werner Buchholz at IBM in 1956, and he deliberately chose the spelling "byte" instead of "bite" to avoid confusion with "bit."
