Ale ano, v ČJ namísto "pracovat" můžeme použít i "dělat". Je to celkem běžné. Ta věta je moc povedená. Taková hra se slovíčky.
In the course, "dělat" very often is translated with the meaning of "to work." I THINK it was described in another discussion as (sort of) colloquial but often used.

Is there a reason why while I am working is not accepted? Is it because of the aspect (non perfective)?

Oh, hmm, good question. I'm following this discussion. Aspect is the thing I most struggle with with Czech.

I'm a native Czech speaker and I did not get what they meant by this question. It's more of a joke sentence and a good learning moment.
That translation just doesn't work. In English, you would need an "action" verb instead of the second "do." What do you do while I... write letters, read a book, go to the theater, etc.

true thing, but I asked natives and in this case "delat" is not used properly. if you want to use it as "to work" and not "to do", you at least have to specify something else like: "delam z domu" "i work from home" "delam pro firmu" "I work for a company" but without any complement like these ones, "delat" doesn't mean "to work", but only "to do".
