You need very little in the way of resources for programming, however if you are using a multitude of OSes for your development in VM's you may want more RAM.
 
I have those same specs and run a VM. I do development on both OS's, w/multiple programs open in both. 8GB hasn't been a problem. I usually have at least 1GB of free RAM, and my memory pressure graph shows green.
